If there was one thing I did that changed my overall pregnancy, birth experience, and breastfeeding it was Dr Thompson Method. So much more than just breastfeeding, it helped me brave enough to follow my own instincts and critically think for myself. Had a beautiful unmedicated birth (switched to midwife mid 2nd trimester), easier birth than I expected. Some complications breastfeeding in the 1st few days, stuck with it, and got the help I needed. EBF till about a year. We breastfed till 2.5 years old. I'm eternally grateful I made an impulse buy that changed my mindset and experience so much for the better. Breastfeeding is not only best nutrition, natural bound, illness/immunity support, jaw development. I returned to work at 12 weeks and had no issues switching between bottles and boob. My husband called it the "placenta" show because the 1st episode he heard he liked how it sounded with the accent hehe.
