#393 Breast Has Always Been Best w/ IBCLC & Mom, Jaimie Zaki

In this episode of Birthing Instincts Podcast, Dr. Stu and Blyss welcome Jaimie Zaki, an LPN, doula, IBCLC, and mom of 5 dedicated to transforming breastfeeding support. The importance of breastfeeding for the mental and emotional development of the baby is undebatable. On the same note, moms can benefit from breastfeeding as well since it reduces the potential for health issues after pregnancy. Other benefits include a quicker recovery from childbirth and a decrease in the stress of birth. 

Throughout the conversation, you will also learn more about formula feeding and its pros and cons. After all, figuring out the best path to follow is also important during this phase.
