The Thompson Method is a comprehensive course covering topics from pregnancy to beyond. I would highly recommend getting the course prior to your baby’s arrival. This is my second child, and breastfeeding never fully launched for multiple reasons likely tied to my postpartum health and the mismatch of advice that made my healing slower and breastfeeding more stressful. This time around, I did have two non-Thompson Method lactation consultants stop by after birth. The modifications recommended by one resulted in more discomfort. I went back to the course and made adjustments. It’s been beautiful. My son has latched himself since the first hours of birth and there’s no forcing him to the breast with nose to nipple as most consultants would advise. I highly recommend this course for those hoping to breastfeed their babies.
