The Thompson Method Breastfeeding Reviews 172

I cannot adequately explain how incredible The Thompson Method is. For a first time mum, with my heart set on breastfeeding, I 100% know that I couldn’t have successfully and exclusively breastfed my daughter without this method. I experienced severe nipple trauma and the hospital nurses told me my “lipstick” nipple and cracks were normal. I booked a rescue call with a Thompson breastfeeding professional and within 30 seconds, I was breastfeeding pain free despite the damage. I successfully exclusively breastfed my little girl until about 18 months old. The expertise & gentle techniques in this method need to be taught to every midwife, every nurse & every medical professional dealing with pregnant women with the intention of breastfeeding. I naively thought my baby would latch perfectly and I’d be fine from second 1. This program and this method saved me!

Very useful. Especially when it comes to encouragement and urging the mom to trust her instincts.

The Thompson Method is truly wonderful. Breastfeeding should be pain free with the right help to get you going but that support isn't accessible to everyone when they give birth. Thus course is so important to make that help available to anyone and get your bf journey off to the best start. Education during pregnancy is so helpful, I felt prepared and most importantly able to advocate for myself.

I noticed a huge difference breastfeeding my second child using the Thompson method compared to using traditional methods with my first. I didn’t experience any pain using the Thompson Method-it was incredible!

I highly recommend this as preparation pre birth. It helped me feel more confident and comfortable with holding techniques prior to the arrival of my baby. Everyone has a different journey and this program has the knowledge and research to support women with all the bumps in the roads. Breastfeeding when it’s working well is also easy and simple for mum and bub. Worth persisting with in the start xx

I have so much to thank the late, great Dr Robyn Thompson for. Her program is filled with decades of experience and research into how babies latch and feed best, for pain-free and successful feeding from the first few hours after birth, through your milk coming in and beyond. This is a topic I didn’t know I needed to prepare for, but I’m so glad I did! After taking Dr. Robyn’s course, I felt not only knowledgeable about breastfeeding, but empowered to breastfeed the way I needed to at the hospital and at home (which may be different to how some care providers might try to teach you to breastfeed). Do yourself a favour and take this course before giving birth and it’ll make breastfeeding a much more empowering and wonderful experience. You’ll have a whole team of dedicated midwives and Thompson Method-trained women supporting you. Good luck!

This course taught me everything I need to know about birth and breastfeeding, preparing me for my first born. I have a happy and healthy 5 month old, who has been exclusively breastfed and thanks to The Thompson Method I’ve had a confident and pain free breastfeeding journey. This course gave me the confidence to say no to the health care system when I had too. I couldn’t recommend this highly enough.

If you want to breastfeed, do this course before your baby arrives and you will be setting yourself up for a much better chance at it. This course is the best, in my opinion, I breastfed my daughter for two years. It’s so well explained and the videos are very easy to follow.

I discovered the Thompson method after I thought I had failed at breastfeeding with my first child. From what I learned through the Thompson method, I realized that nipple trauma is NOT normal and that I didn’t have a supply issue as a nurse practitioner had suggested. Breastfeeding with my second child was an entirely different journey than with my first. The Thompson method had given me confidence that I could do it and more importantly that my baby knew what to do. My third child spent 3 weeks in the NICU and thanks to the Thompson method I was prepared for that scenario and had the tools for breastfeeding to be a success despite my daughter being intubated for about a week. When it came time for us to be able to try to breastfeed there was never a doubt that we couldn’t do it. The Thompson method’s videos are tastefully done while providing the visual guidance one needs. Without the Thompson method I may not have even tried to breastfeed with my second and third. I am so so thankful I learned about the program and the incredible experiences it gave me.

This program is the reason I was able to continue and enjoy my breastfeeding journey! I had a premi and so I knew the importance of breastfeeding, but the nipple pain and constant pumping was just so overwhelming and dealing with my recovery. The support and knowledge I learnt through the program turned all of that around and within a week or so there was no pain, no stress and I was finally enjoying the magnificent experience of being a breastfeeding mother. Breastfeeding second time and postnatally was a dream because of this program. Thank you Robyn, your legacy will be felt for generations.

I felt so confident and supported in my breastfeeding journey and had zero issues

I found this to be the only source of real help with practical, experience-driven advice during my extremely challenging BF journey. Midwives and consultants tended to share the same rehearsed speech and methods whenever I sought their help. This programme offered indepth, honest, and structured guidance that really helped me reclaim my BF journey.

I recommend the Thompson method to every woman breastfeeding! It gave me support and confidence to breastfeed during times that were difficult. I was able to relax and enjoy what is now one of my favorite times of my life! Breastfeeding was so special! The Thompson method, along with being a part of the community it entails, gave me confidence to follow my intuition and breastfeed my kid until we were done (3 yrs) instead of stopping at 1 years (which was the recommended timeframe in the U.S. I am pregnant with my second and will use this method again!

I have used the Thompson method for both my babies and loved it so much. I have had such empowering and positive experiences breastfeeding and honestly attribute this to the confidence and strategies I gained from the online videos I completed while pregnant. When faced with conflicting information from midwives that resulted in nipple trauma, I found I had the knowledge to consider what worked best for me and bub and lean in to my intuition. I always recommend the Thompson Method to my friends when the are preparing for postpartum. So so empowering!

Really helped me prepare for my breastfeeding journey and continue to support me while breastfeeding. Any time I found it difficult, I could easily access the help I needed.

Traditional breastfeeding advice did not help my baby and I achieve a comfortable breastfeeding experience. My entire body was sore and fatigued due to the abnormal positions that the traditional cross cradle position required, and my baby was fearful and resistant to latch on my right side after having been shoved to the breast by a nurse. This caused us both emotional stress at 4 days postpartum, and caused me to have a lot of pain in that breast for several days. My sister and I discovered The Thompson Method and it has helped both of us and our babies achieve a more comfortable and less stressful breastfeeding experience. Thank you so much, Dr. Thompson and team!

Saved my breastfeeding experience. The positioning worked much better for me than the cross cradle taught by the NHS. I breastfed for a year and it wouldn’t have been possible without this programme!

I can honestly say Dr Robyn’s method saved me from so much headache and heartache. As a first time mum surrounded by so many anti breastfeeding sentiments in my family and friends I had little to no support and was pulling my hair out in the first weeks and months of giving birth. Everything this course taught me has led me to be confident in my breastfeeding journey. My daughter is 2.5 years old and she is happy, healthy and we have truly bonded. I have carried on breastfeeding throughout her life and whilst that might not be for everyone I know those first crucial moments from Dr Robyn's teaching paved the way for me to carry on and be a proud breastfeeding momma! Cannot recommend the course enough!

Thanks to the Thompson breastfeeding method I was able to plan my birth exactly how I wanted and to start a successful breastfeeding journey with my first baby! This journey is still continuing 2,5 years later!

I wish I had heard of the Thompson Method with my first child as I was unable to breastfeed him (he wasn’t interested at the breast and I lost my supply after mastitis x2 within 6 weeks). I came upon TTM when doing a deeper dive on breastfeeding for my second baby as I wanted to be successful if possible. I immediately loved the gentle nature of the techniques as the hospital was shoving my first baby onto my breast and using difficult nursing positions for me and baby. My daughter came 3 weeks early, but despite that, she was able to latch quickly, and after some fine tuning, we got to painless nursing! I am so grateful for TTM and their wisdom as I can say I exclusively breastfeed and it’s been wonderful! Highly recommend this course. You can also do refreshers on the course any time you feel you need to. 10/10!!!
