My best investment during pregnancy
I found this program when I was searching for knowledge that would help me avoid the terrible nipple trauma I had with my older child. Thanks to Dr Thompson, I knew what to do right after birth and my 3rd breastfeeding journey was smooth. I managed to heal the sore nipples quickly , avoided reflux and regulated my milk flow. The knowledge and support provided by the team are priceless! the only thing I regret is not having discovered it for my previous children.

I felt prepared and confident to trust what I learnt through the Thompson method
I watched all the information The Thompson Method had and felt so prepared. I felt confident to trust myself and have successfully breastfed both my two children to the age of 18 months. With no pain and a trusted place to look for help. 100% recommend to watch the videos and follow this method, compared to what you may be advised in the hospital

Great knowledge and prep
As a first time mom, it was a great comfort to inform myself on breastfeeding with the help of dr. Robyn’s expertise before having my son. I’m now past the one year mark of breastfeeding and still going strong.

The best time to focus on breastfeeding is before your baby arrives.
Three good reasons to skip past "wait and see"...
Postpartum can be overwhelming.
Adding a tiny one to your life is a big transition! You'll be navigating new normals and learning so much on the fly. By learning to breastfeed now, you'll be able to enjoy the journey instead of worrying through it.
You'll soon have less free time.
It's no secret that newborns require time and energy—all of which are in short supply in those early days and weeks. Use the "extra" time you have now to grow your knowledge and confidence.
Early complications can derail breastfeeding.
Mothers who experience complications in the early hours and days of breastfeeding are more likely to give up before they want to. With advance preparation, you're less likely to experience those complications.

"An entire suite of prenatal & birth classes!"
I bought this program before we were even pregnant, as preparation for breastfeeding. Little did I realise that the course is actually an entire suite of prenatal and birth classes... It empowered me to know what to expect during the last trimester, labour, birth, straight after birth, coming home and feeding the baby at different ages.
As a result of the videos I watched I was confident to make a decision about what I knew was right and to stand up for my instinct and decisions. Cannot recommend more.

"It's the best thing I did."
After searching for breastfeeding help I had come across many that lacked substance and cost the earth. I almost didn't bother looking into the Thompson Method course as it seemed too cheap. But I'm so glad I did. The breastfeeding support is so personal and effective, but before I even got to that stage, the in-depth labour and birthing information and extensive birth plan provided, made me realise I had made the best decision I could have.
If I could, I would do whatever I could to assure every mumma that they would get amazing benefit from the Thompson Method and they should jump in with both feet. It's the best thing I did.

Although it’s difficult to acknowledge —
Many hospital systems work against a woman's ability to successfully breastfeed her baby.
✖ Forceful Techniques
The go-to breastfeeding guidance from hospitals is often forceful, out of date, and inconsistent, which can lead to painful nipple trauma and derail a women’s determination to breastfeed.
✖ The Cascade of Intervention
In the name of efficiency (read: profit), hospitals are too quick to unnecessarily intervene before and during labour putting mothers and babies at risk of additional interventions which can make it difficult to establish breastfeeding from the start.
✖ Mother-Baby Separation
Hospitals rush to conduct unnecessary routine procedures immediately after birth, which separates mother and baby, often interrupting the precious window of opportunity for skin-to-skin contact and the first breastfeed—The 3 Golden Hours.

Confidently breastfeeding through a formula shortage
We are facing an extreme formula shortage in the United States and thanks to this program, I feel more confident about breastfeeding going into having our second baby who is due in 2 weeks. ... I truly feel like this is all I need to help me through this next journey successfully.

Best purchase I made during my pregnancy
I was told by midwives I would not be able to exclusively breastfeed my son because he was so big (11 pounds), so should have him tubed while I recovered from a traumatic birth and just start formula straight away. I was confident in my ability to let my body feed my baby as it was designed to do, and see how it went.
I learnt how to advocate for myself from...

Couldn't be happier with this course
Thanks to the Thompson Method we have made it to 3 months of exclusively breastfeeding - a quarter of the way to our goal of one year! I started the program when I was 38 weeks pregnant and I could not be happier with all of the knowledge I received.
I know if I had only gone by what the nurses were telling me in the hospital - forceful techniques, asymmetrical latching that leads to nipple damage, etc...

A successful pain free breastfeeding journey.
Absolutely the most worthwhile decision I ever made was to join Dr Robyn's breastfeeding club. I was given practical, natural, extensively researched information and advice about how to give myself the best chance to have a successful pain free breastfeeding journey. We are 9 months exclusively breast fed and I attribute much of our success to Dr Robyn and her caring, natural approach.

Every woman and midwife should do this program.
Have now been feeding happily for 4 whole months thanks to Dr Thompson!! I started the program halfway through my pregnancy and with a little bit of a rocky start to feeding, I am so, so glad I was armed with what I was to get through those initial 2 weeks smoothly.
I've had no pain and loads of support for when I have needed it. I cannot recommend this program enough....

I recommend this to ALL first time moms
This program blessed my family so much! My baby had no problems latching. In fact, the night we stayed at the hospital the nurses kept sending in other nurses to see the baby with the “perfect latch”. I was so proud!
She gained back more than her birthweight by 1 week, and I owe all of it to the education I received from the Thompson Method...

I got my 3 golden hours and she breastfed beautifully
I gave birth to my 2nd child on January 3rd. She is my first Thompson Method baby! I only wish I had discovered this program with my first child as it would have made a huge difference in my birth and breastfeeding experience back then.
With my first, I had a typical breastfeeding troubles that lasted for months on end including cracked and bleeding nipples, tongue tie issues, oversupply and mastitis...

Couldn't be happier with this course
Cannot recommend the Thompson method enough. I started the course during pregnancy which gave me so much confidence and knowledge going into motherhood and my breastfeeding journey. So far our baby is 2 weeks old, gaining over the recommended minimum weight and my milk supply is in abundance and I have zero pain. A huge success and I am loving every second of it.

Best thing I did to prepare for breastfeeding
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this fabulous course. I purchased when I was 28 weeks pregnant. I studied it to pieces. I felt so prepared. I was able to get my 3 Golden Hours (we actually got 4).
The midwives couldn't believe I was a first time Mum. I'm loving every moment of my breastfeeding journey. My baby girl is 8 weeks old, she was diagnosed with a severe tongue tie and mild lip tie...

Fantastic program
This program really helped on my breastfeeding journey. I was unsuccessful with my first and second baby and struggled understanding how breastfeeding works.
Then by my third I was determined for it to work and found this program as a ad on facebook. I have now been breastfeeding for 14 months and still going strong. Would not have done it without this program, as it taught me how breastfeeding works...

Common Questions
When should I start the breastfeeding course?
Our suggestion is to get the education now, while you’re motivated to learn and while you have the time to absorb it all.
With lifetime access to the program and to the support in the Breastfeeding Club, the question remains....
"If you could avoid or even reduce your risk of experiencing nipple trauma, low milk supply, mastitis etc... Why wouldn't you?"
This isn’t my first baby. Is this program for me?
How do I access the program?
How do I know if The Thompson Method will work for me?
The principles are based on the anatomy of the breastfeeding baby (Dr Robyn’s PhD research) to help women reduce the risk of painful complications, which also helps women establish and maintain their milk supply.
Of course, there are exceptions depending on your unique circumstances and there are no guarantees. If you’re not sure, or if you’re really struggling with breastfeeding and would like some 1:1 help, let us know, and our team will point you in the right direction.
Can’t I wait to see if I actually need something like this?
Plus, once your baby is born, you'll have less time to get education and support if you need it, and you may feel especially tired and overwhelmed in those first few days and weeks.
That said, if you decide to wait and discover you could use a hand later on, we'll be here for you!
Why should I buy a breastfeeding course when so much information is available for free?
When it comes to breastfeeding education, it's important to be mindful that much of the free information online is inconsistent and confusing—which is the opposite of what you need right now.
Also, receiving tips shared online and from well-meaning family and friends only provides snippets of information. Our program provides you with a complete picture (along with support) so you can be well-informed and prepared to make informed decisions, even in unexpected situations. Finally, The Thompson Method is based on Dr Robyn's extensive research as the world's first PhD in nipple trauma.
What’s so different about The Thompson Method?
The Thompson Method challenges the commonly taught, forceful techniques taught in most hospitals. It's gentle and encourages women to be strong and trust their maternal instincts.
We have an immense amount of respect for the professionals working within the hospital system. However, it’s important to acknowledge that hospital policies aren’t necessarily in the best interests of the breastfeeding mother and her baby, placing the professionals under pressure to conform to unrealistic time constraints.
What are the 3 Golden Hours?
Through our program, you'll learn how to self-advocate so you're given the opportunity to be skin-to-skin with your baby during these 3 hours, which allows you to breastfeed and form an immediate bond.
You'll also learn what to do if you don't get your 3 Golden Hours. (All is not lost!)
How long does the program take?
How long do I have access to the program?
Won’t the hospital show me how to breastfeed?
And with the rush to get you discharged, these techniques often include forcing your baby to the breast, just to get you "breastfeeding" before you go home. This is why it’s so important that you are fully prepared and have enough confidence to make wise choices. Sometimes that includes saying "No thanks, I’ve got this."
Should I still do this program if I’m going to an antenatal class?
According to Dr Robyn's research, commonly taught forceful techniques are closely linked to painful nipple trauma. In fact, in her research of women experiencing nipple damage, 85% of them were using the most commonly taught technique: cross-cradle.
You’ll also come to understand that the decisions you make during your labour and birth will greatly influence your breastfeeding journey. That means having access to this information will also help you reduce the risk of complications for your labour and birth.
This is the only program where you'll learn The Thompson Method, and it’s designed to help you fully prepare you for your breastfeeding journey, give you the tools to know how to best manage breastfeeding when you arrive home, provide you with information on how to quickly overcome pain if you start to feel it and much, much more.
