    35: "How long should my baby nurse on each side to get the fatty hindmilk for better weight gain?"
    May 27 2025
    Have you ever wondered if your breastfed baby needs more hind milk to gain more weight?

    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.

  • 33 | Babies CAN swallow air & tongue ties ARE a problem

    33 | Babies CAN swallow air & tongue ties ARE a problem
    May 20 2025

    Did you see the recent claims by a Thompson Method IBCLC who guested on Pain Free Birth, claiming babies can't swallow air and tongue ties aren't the problem, the latch is? As an IBCLC the claims made in the social media posts were so upsetting -- mostly because thousands of Mamas follow this account and are hearing this misinformation that is being framed as "debunking misinformation". In today's episode of the Breastfeeding With Confidence Podcast, we discuss aerophagia, breastfeeding struggles, tongue tie, and navigating these challenges as a "crunchy" or "holistic" mom who questions modern healthcare practices. If you're a new mom struggling with breastfeeding, and you're doing everything "right" but it's still not working, you need to know there's a reason, and you deserve answers.
