    44 | Teen Pregnancy & Breastfeeding with IBCLC Amber Ginn
    Jun 27 2025

    15, pregnant, and told to “just get an abortion.” What happens when a teen mom chooses to breastfeed instead?

    What if everyone around you says you’ll fail? What happens when you walk into the hospital as a pregnant teen—and no one takes you seriously? Can breastfeeding actually become a source of healing when everything else feels stacked against you?

    In this episode of the Breastfeeding With Confidence podcast, I’m joined by fellow IBCLC Amber Ginn, who became a mom at just 15 years old who chose motherhood and breastfeeding, even when support was nowhere to be found.

    Amber opens up about the judgment, the trauma, and the dismissive care she faced as a teen mom—and how breastfeeding became more than just feeding her baby. It became her mission. Her healing. And the reason she became a lactation consultant herself.

    This episode is about so much more than breastfeeding—it’s about what happens when we believe in young mothers instead of writing them off.

    Inside this episode, we talk about:
    • Why her hospital experience left her feeling dismissed and unsupported

    • Navigating high school while breastfeeding a newborn

    • The role breastfeeding played in her healing and self-worth

    • What inspired her to become a lactation consultant

    • The gaps in the pro-life movement when it comes to real postpartum support

    • Why investing in breastfeeding support matters more than most moms realize

    • What it means to make confident, informed choices as a young mom

    • How to support pregnant teens without shame or pressure

    • What to look for in a lactation consultant who will truly advocate for you

    This one is raw, inspiring, and deeply important—especially if you’ve ever felt judged for your story or underestimated by the system.

    43 | My baby's mouth is too small to breastfeed! How can I help her latch?!
    Jun 24 2025
    Is your baby struggling to latch… and someone told you it’s just because they have a “small mouth”? Have you been told your newborn is just “too tiny” to breastfeed well — or that it’s your breast size or nipple shape that’s the problem?

    In this episode of the Breastfeeding with Confidence podcast, Jaimie Zaki — International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, mom of five, and expert in reflexive latching — is busting one of the most frustrating myths out there: that your baby’s mouth is too small to latch.

    You’ll hear the true story of a mama with a petite newborn and a diagnosed tongue tie… who still went on to breastfeed successfully. How? Because she had the right latch support, bodywork guidance, and didn’t give up just because the first advice didn’t help.

    Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Why “small mouth” isn’t a true cause of latching trouble

    • How proper alignment and bodywork can support a deeper latch

    • What most providers miss when troubleshooting latch issues

    • How early intervention and reflex-based techniques can save your journey

    • The truth about tongue ties and how to approach them without panic

    Whether you’re preparing to breastfeed or already feeling discouraged by pain, shallow latch, or clicking sounds — this episode gives you the clarity and tools you need to move forward with confidence.
