I am So grateful for Robyn and this amazing breastfeeding program! When I found out I was pregnant with Baby # 5 I was not worried about labour or delivery at all, but instead was more anxious about the first month postpartum, and especially the first week. With children #'s 1 - 4 I have experienced cracked and bleeding nipples and have had mastitis twice, both times requiring antibiotics. While I exclusively breastfed those four babies (ranging from 14 months to 3 years), the memory of the pain was enough to send me researching. I finally decided to take a chance with The Thompson Method. The first few days of breastfeeding I was starting to experience the beginnings of raw nipples, so I watched the fine-tuning videos, and had to especially trust the process when milk came in and was starting to experience engorged breasts. I was starting to default to bringing the nipple to my baby instead of baby to nipple, out of fear. I kept saying to myself "trust the process". Within two days of Robyn's method (including a bit of hand expressing and manually pumping to relieve some engorgement), my engorgement went away. At 12 days postpartum my nipples had healed. There was only slight discomfort when Baby vacuumed, but it went away quickly now that I knew how to fine-tune. I was blown away by how well it was going. My baby boy is almost 4 months old and still exclusively breastfeeding. We both love the bonding time and all the smiles. Thank you SO much, Robyn, for your research and for your desire to help and inform.
