Having worked in Early Childhood Education for almost 15 years, before becoming a mother, I had some good ideas what was expected about being a mom. I knew I could prepare myself for giving birth, but the thing that freaked me out the most was breastfeeding. I’ve seen mom after mom struggle with breastfeeding. I had no education on breastfeeding, so I couldn’t help. Next week will be 18 months of breastfeeding with my baby. She’s more of a toddler now, but with the good foundation that The Thompson Method gave me, I was able to only feed her breastmilk until she started solids, and continued breastfeeding to help comfort her during teething. I can not recommend this program enough. Between my doula and The Thompson Method, I didn’t need to go into see a lactation consultant. And with my bad experience with the hospital lactation consultant, I didn’t want to see one that hasn’t gone through The Thompson Method.
