Just wanted to express how thankful I am for this program. I fed my first with a shield. I tried to feed my second without a shield but at nine weeks his weight dropped off the chart. After a frenotomy, thrush, four lots of mastitis, torn milk ducts, lots of nipple trauma, stress and pain I stopped breastfeeding. I was determined to make it work this time and started searching for help. I came across the program and did the entire course while pregnant with number three. While doing the course I was able to pinpoint what had likely gone wrong in the past. Baby arrived early, came fast and was tiny. Being a third time mum I was pretty much left alone during my stay in the hospital which gave me the time and space to implement what I had learnt. I met a lovely midwife during my stay who had worked with The Thompson Method at the Mater in Brisbane. I asked her to observe a feed and she was very encouraging and assured me we were doing well. Feeding is going amazingly. Bub is content, relaxed and putting on weight beautifully. After my traumatic experiences in the past I never could have dreamed that I would be where I am today, enjoying feeding with such ease. Thank you so much for this program and the confidence it gives.
