4. Latching Technique to prevent Sore Nipples when breastfeeding your newborn

Worried about painful breastfeeding or sore nipples? In this episode we're busting breastfeeding myths & revealing techniques for a pain-free breastfeeding latch. 

Jaimie Zaki, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and mother of five, tackles three common breastfeeding myths that often cause confusion and unnecessary breastfeeding pain for new moms. Jaimie breaks down the truth about latch techniques and how to achieve a comfortable, effective latch. She debunks the misconception that breastfeeding is supposed to hurt, explaining that while some initial tenderness is normal, ongoing pain signals a problem. She also clarifies why a good latch should never hurt, even if it looks correct, and offers breastfeeding tips to adjust positioning for pain-free nursing. Lastly, she challenges the outdated nipple-to-nose latching technique, emphasizing the importance of proper chin positioning for a deep, effective latch. Jaimie introduces her Latching with Confidence program, designed to help moms master breastfeeding latch techniques, troubleshoot common issues, and heal damaged nipples.
