About this listen
One Instagram follower asked me recently, "How long should my baby nurse on each side to get the fatty hind milk needed to gain weight" and I thought this made the perfect Breastfeeding Q&A topic! Today we'll unpack the foremilk‑vs.‑hindmilk myth and shows you how breastmilk naturally shifts in fat content as your baby nurses. You’ll learn why timing feeds by the clock isn’t necessary, and how simple cues—like letting baby finish one breast before offering the other—ensure they get the richer milk. Jaimie walks you through gentle breast massage techniques and optimal latch tips to promote even fat distribution and efficient drainage of breastmilk.
