I don’t normally write reviews but felt compelled to share my story in hopes that it inspires at least one Mom to give The Thompson Method a go. With my first baby everything went wrong. I had cracked, bleeding nipples and that was before I left the hospital! We struggled through nipple shields, breast refusal and supply issues. I ended up pumping for 4 months before throwing in the towel. I was mentally exhausted. 

 When I fell pregnant with my 2nd I knew I had to educate myself on breastfeeding. Sounds silly right? Why is something so natural so hard for some so many women? 

Anyway, I saw a video of Dr Robyn talking about the 3 Golden Hours and right then I knew why my 1st breastfeeding journey had gotten off to such a terrible start. I was naive and put my faith in the hospital system. 

I watched more videos of Dr Robyns and everything she said just made so much sense to me. I signed up to her course at 24 weeks and studied it to pieces! Even though I was having a scheduled c-section I went into the hospital prepared with my birth and breastfeeding plan and was determined to get my 3 Golden Hours. 

My midwife was amazing, she read my plan and was totally on board with all of my wishes. Instead of getting 3 hours, we got the first 5 precious hours together. He latched beautifully, there was no pain and I cried tears of joy. 

And here we are today 7 months EBF. I couldn’t be prouder. The bonding experience has been truly special. 
I will be forever grateful for everything this course has taught me. The knowledge and confidence the Thompson Method has given me is truly priceless. A big thanks to the wonderful group that comes with the course for all of the support. ❤️
