Birthing with Confidence

That breastfeeding class showed you how breastfeed works when everything goes right.
This shows you how to protect your milk supply when it doesn’t.
Moms who planned to exclusively breastfeed still end up using formula in the first 48 hours — not because their body failed, but because they weren’t prepared for what actually happens when breastfeeding doesn't look "normal".
Difficult births, unexpected situations, time pressure, and routine protocols often lead to unnecessary supplementation — which can quietly lower supply and make breastfeeding feel harder than it ever needed to be.
Let me give you a clear plan to protect your milk from day one, navigate healthcare provider pressure, and only supplement when truly necessary — without hurting your long-term breastfeeding goals.
No matter what curveballs come your way.
You're not worried about being pressured into formula. You plan to just say “no”.
Your birth plan already says: ✔️ Skin-to-skin ✔️ No separation ✔️ Avoid formula unless medically necessary.
The problem isn’t the obvious pressure. 👉🏼 It’s what happens when things don’t go perfectly.
❌ Low blood sugar
❌ Latch struggles
❌ Jaundice
❌ Weight loss
Suddenly it feels like you don’t have a choice.
This is where many breastfeeding journeys quietly change.
Not because moms weren’t committed. But because they didn’t have a plan for these moments.
Right now, you're going into birth hoping it'll all work out. This workshop will give you the wisdom & strategy to make sure it works out, no matter what happens.
-
What to do so no one even mentions formula
-
How to handle low blood sugar, jaundice, and weight loss without panic
-
How to advocate for your baby without feeling confrontational
-
How to supplement strategically so your milk supply stays strong

Most breastfeeding prep falls short
Most moms think they’re prepared because they’ve ✔️ Read the books ✔️ Taken a hospital class ✔️ Watched videos ✔️Talked to their doctor ✔️Picked a baby friendly hospital
But most of this education focuses on feeding positions, feeding schedules, and general advice assuming everything goes well— not what actually protects milk supply in the early days when things aren’t “perfect”.
You’re told: 👉🏼 Feed every 2–3 hours 👉🏼 Watch for hunger cues 👉🏼 Ask for help if something isn’t working
But if you’ve talked to moms who struggled, you know the truth…
⚡️Milk supply is shaped in the first few days — long before most problems are obvious
⚡️Many well-meaning professionals are not trained to protect long-term breastfeeding
⚡️20% of moms who plan to breastfeed start formula in the first 48 hours even when there's nothing wrong (and even at baby friendly hospitals)
⚡️ And “figuring it out” often comes at the cost of exhaustion, anxiety, and lost confidence
This shows you exactly what to do in the moments that matter most — so your milk supply stays strong even if things don’t go perfectly.
Here's what one mom said after dealing with pressure from hospital staff...

Imagine if she had known everything I'm about to teach you before her baby came.

Hi, I’m Jaimie Zaki — IBCLC, nurse, former doula, and mom of five.
I’ve worked with countless families who struggled — not because breastfeeding was impossible — but because the people they trusted most gave them bad breastfeeding advice.
I created this workshop to give mothers like you the clarity I wish every family had access to before feeding became overwhelming.

When should I take this class?
Second or Third trimester is ideal, but even if you're in early labor right now, this workshop can help you get clarity so you make feeding decisions calmly, and confidently, without fear, stress, and confusion.
What if I end up needing formula?
This class isn't anti-formula, it's anti-unnecessary formula. If you want or need to use formula as a tool, I'll teach you my SM.A.R.T. Supplementing Framework to help you protect your breastmilk supply in the process.
Is this only for first time moms?
Nope! Lots of mothers who wanted to breastfeed in the past, and supplemented or quit sooner than they wanted find this class helpful so they can have a better experience this time.
What if my hospital is baby friendly?
Baby-friendly hospitals can be supportive, but they don’t replace education and preparation. All it takes is one poorly trained staff member to throw you off. This class helps you understand what’s normal, advocate for your goals, and make confident decisions no matter where you give birth.
What if I already read books or took a breastfeeding class?
Most education focuses on latch and positions, and feeding schedules/routines when everything is normal: not how to protect breastfeeding when the unexpected happens. This class is all about preparing you for the NOT so normal. This is about making breastfeeding positive, even when everything isn't perfect.
