I came across The Thompson Method on Instagram before I even found out I was pregnant. I went back and forth about purchasing, but in the end decided it would be worth it, especially after watching a friend of mine struggle to breastfeed because of nipple trauma. I am so glad that I did, because after latching in the birthing center right away and over the first 3 days, my baby decided he didn’t want to latch once my milk came in and would scream in frustration. I tried a few things from the videos, but couldn’t get him to latch. Out of desperation, I tried nipple shields and he latched on immediately! After less than 2 weeks with the nipple shields and a lot of patience, I was able to completely transition him off of them and he now latches great! Thanks to the advice and tips from The Thompson Method, my breastfeeding journey has been pain free and such a special bonding experience with my first baby! I highly recommend this program to new moms or moms who have struggled to breastfeed. The information is so valuable and really makes you feel confident!
