65 | Is my breastmilk fatty enough? How can I make my milk fattier to help my baby gain weight?
Is My Breast Milk Fatty Enough for My Baby? Busting a Common Breastfeeding Myth
In this episode of Breastfeeding With Confidence, Jaimie Zaki, IBCLC and mom of five, tackles one of the most frustrating myths new mothers hear: that their breast milk “isn’t fatty enough” or “needs time to mature” before it can help their baby gain weight.
Here’s the truth—your milk is already perfectly designed for your baby from the very beginning. If your little one isn’t gaining weight, the issue isn’t milk quality—it’s usually about milk volume or transfer. And in rare cases, consistent weight gain struggles despite adequate intake can point to deeper medical issues that need attention.
Jaimie shares:
Why breast milk is always nutrient-rich and fatty enough
The real reasons babies may not gain weight
Why supplementing with formula isn’t always the answer
How to advocate for yourself when doctors give misleading advice
If you’ve ever worried your milk “isn’t good enough,” this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and the tools to protect your breastfeeding journey.
