With my first baby, breastfeeding was not a possibility as I was starting chemo ten days after he was born. I was heartbroken but I needed to get myself well. I wanted to breastfeed for that short time but I didn’t find any education on the topic and when I was taught how to feed my baby, the forceful technique did not set well with me at all. I tried on my own and did my best those short ten days. We were extremely excited when we found out we were pregnant again and our son was so happy to welcome his sibling. I enrolled in prenatal classes (I definitely needed a refresher course after 12 years) and researched education, lactation groups and all sorts of supplies I thought I needed for breastfeeding. Thanks to the magic of Facebook ads, The Thompson Method popped up in my feed and after a few days, I took a listen and for me, it just made sense. I purchased the program and began going through the videos. Our prenatal classes we’re cancelled due to Covid but I learned so much though the modules that were provide. It gave me so much knowledge especially during a time of so much unknowns. I had an amazing experience overall. I was stressed about having gestational diabetes at first, but I worked to get it under control and was able to deliver baby at 40 weeks. When it came time to have my three golden hours, I was amazed at how my baby’s instincts were working being minutes old. That magical moment and the last 365 days during this journey would have not been possible without all the knowledge I obtained through this program and the support from the admins in this groups. I did have a bit of pain by day three but I found the fine tuning resources to help me through that and the responsive from the team to help me resolve that quickly. There were tough days and but we worked through the challenges one day at a time. Dr. Robyn, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your dedication to helping women and for this wonderful community. I don’t think I’d have had the success without your program and the confidence it instilled in me to trust my instincts. This has been one of the hardest things I’ve done but also the more rewarding.
