Almost 4 years ago, I started my journey with my daughter, with whom I struggled enormously with breastfeeding. The pain was so bad that I nearly gave up just 6 weeks into my breastfeeding journey. Between my breastfeeding consultant and the guidance I got from the Thompson method, I was able to overcome my struggles and breastfeed my daughter until she was 2.5 years old! It was an incredible bonding experience between us two. Less than a year after the end of my breastfeeding journey with my daughter, my son was born. With my son, I was hoping for a similar experience. He latched much easier and it seemed like we would have a smooth breastfeeding experience. However, it wasn't meant to be - I was diagnosed with breast cancer before he turned 4 months old. I was devastated especially because I had a much greater supply with him than with my daughter, and I knew I wouldn't be able to continue to feed him for too long. I reached out to the Thomspon Method group again for guidance in how to handle my situation. I ended up breastfeeding him until I started chemo on his actual 4 month birthday, collecting as much extra milk as possible. In the end, my son was blessed with such a great supply of breastmilk that I was able to extend his breastfeeding journey by 2 months! Having given my son his last bags of frozen breast milk the yesterday, I reached out to the Thompson Method group again, this time for emotional support, as I was feeling overwhelmed by the prospect that I would never give or make my own breastmilk again. This is when I felt the incredible sense of community and outpouring of support that felt my grief over the premature end of my breastfeeding journey and simulataneously inspired me to continue on my road to recovery from my illness. This is a community that is there for you no matter where your journey takes you, from the administrators to the group members. I am grateful to have stuck with them till the very end.
