This program is the real deal! I watched all of the videos prior to birth and felt so prepared to start my breast-feeding journey. I was able to push back on recommendations at the hospital, including nipple shields, and cross cradle positioning, because I knew that breast-feeding can be gentle and natural without unnecessary interventions. I frequently referenced the videos when I needed additional information and the Facebook page when I needed community support. I made it to 19 1/2 months of breastfeeding with my son. He never took a pacifier or a bottle. I feel so accomplished and can’t wait to use the Thompson method again for number two.
