5. Breastmilk is Ideal, Fed is required, but Informed & Supported is what's best

Breastfeeding: Beyond the 'Breast is Best' vs. 'Fed is Best' Debate

In this episode of Breastfeeding with Confidence, host Jaimie Zaki, IBCLC and mother of five, cuts through the noise of the breast is best vs. fed is best debate. While these slogans dominate the conversation, Jaimie reveals why they often fail to truly support new mothers. Instead of catchy phrases, what moms really need is education, preparation, and confidence—not guilt or confusion.

Drawing from her personal experience and professional expertise, Jaimie dives into the realities of breastfeeding, the challenges many moms face, and why informed decision-making is the key to success. She introduces powerful resources like the Latching with Confidence course and the Confident MamaBear Society, designed to equip moms with the knowledge and support they need to thrive.

Her message? It’s not about choosing a side—it’s about feeling confident in your choices and ensuring you have the support to make breastfeeding work for you.
