For years I have really objected to the title of failure to thrive for slow infant weight gain and finally we're going to be changing the language. I highly approve.

We are over here fighting for our life trying to get paid by Anthem and Blue Cross in California.

If I can pretty please ask you to sign this petition to allow lactation consultants to go in network in California. I would be extremely appreciative.

Pretty please forward this.

Over and over parents tell us that they don't get timely access to care. Available funds to get the care is part of that and having Anthem and Blue shield Blue Cross cover Private Practice lactation consultants would increase how many people could actually get help with breastfeeding or bodyfeeding.

There's finally a petition that's gaining ground in California and I would be incredibly grateful if you'd be willing to sign it. It's just going to force Anthem and Blue Cross to address the reason why they've prevented us from going in network. Technically, lactation care is considered preventative care and the California insurance board says that they're out of compliance with network adequacy laws. You have to have a certain amount of us in network and they have zero. Please take a second to sign this for me!!

This human is my favorite human. He's currently taking an EMT training before he starts his first semester at Cal for pre-med. I love him so much and he's smart kid. I do sort of hate him practicing all of his assessments on me because he's so damn rough but whatever haha
