About The Thompson Method:

The Thompson Method is a gentle, evidence based method towards a gentle birth and pain-free breastfeeding experience. It was created by Dr Robyn Thompson, a midwife with over 45 years experience who was awarded a PhD for her research into why so many women were being discharged from hospital with painful nipple trauma and other breastfeeding complications such as engorgement & mastitis.

The Thompson Method challenges the forceful breastfeeding techniques, linked with painful nipple trauma, that are commonly taught in most hospitals. It’s for ALL women who want to breastfeed, but particularly those giving birth in the hospital system because it offers a gentle alternative to help women AVOID the most common and painful breastfeeding complications.

But it’s more than just the technique on how to get a good latch. It is that, but it’s so much more...

“Thanks to this program I have the confidence to nurse anywhere and not care what others think or say! That has made this vacation so much more enjoyable! Thank you for all the education and support!”

“This program was so informative before the birth, but it was the support and guidance in those first few weeks/months after birth that it really came into its own. The help from the staff and the support and advice from other mothers going through similar issues made me feel like I wasn't alone. We started off with nipple shields which we weaned off at around 5 months. We also had issues with green, mucusey and bloody poos which ended up being a dairy issue (sorted out quickly) and also a fast and strong milk flow which caused some tummy upsets. The advice from staff was reassuring and the videos they directed me towards where always helpful and what I needed to watch. This program is well with the money for the support alone, but it's the information that prepares you for birth and your rights and those first few weeks fter birth which is priceless. The staff were always quick to reply to any questions and having extra tips from mums going through similar situations was also a bonus. Highly recommended this program for all new mums. Knowledge is power!!! Happy feeding everyone. Photo of my little champion feeding with shields at 2.5 months and on the morning of his 1st birthday.”

“We are 9 months into exclusively breastfeeding, and it has been an amazing journey! The women in this group are incredible with their support of each other and the empowering messages they send. I had several situations where I was at my wits end trying to figure something out and the admin would always be super fast and helpful with responses! I would at times be frustrated with the generic reply’s that I would get, but that is something that they cannot help, the information given is general so that it apply’s to as many people as possible. I was just mad that the advice may not have worked immediately, although after following the recommendations for a couple days, whatever discomfort I had always dissipated. The continued support was absolutely worth the price, and there was even a sale when I decided to purchase, which was amazing!”

“I haven't had the pleasure of applying the Thompson Method with a new baby as of yet. I purchased because I came across the program after such a long search for answers on why my breastfeeding journey went so badly for my baby and I both. I plan on another child and wanted to feel comfortable and confident in my ability. The program brought that ans so much more to my finger tips. I've never seen a support system like this which was so empowering. All of my questions were answered - everything made sense as to what happened in my first and traumatic breastfeeding journey. I'm incredibly thankful and look forward to using my newfound knowledge and tools come time for my next child.”

“I came across the Thompson Method when I was pregnant with my second child. I tried to breastfeed my eldest but between tongue tie and severe nipple truama I did not last very long. I wanted this time to be different. After discussing the cost with my husband we decided that it was worth a try. I am so glad we did. I watched all the videos and actually decided to have a homebirth off the back of it (which is fortunate as he came extremely quickly). We did our skin to skin straight away and I used the videos a lot the first couple of weeks to tweak his position. My youngest also has a tongue tie but I had the confidence to trust our journey and adjust his position rather than getting his tongue 'fixed'. I am really grateful that I have been able to feed my son pain free. I just wish I knew about this when I had my eldest.”

“The Thompson Method is amazing. My son and I are 14 months into our breast feeding journey and this method helped us get here. The Thompson Method app plus the Facebook group helped me through low supply, latching issues and teething. I would recommend The Thompson Method to any mom looking to breast feed. It doesn't matter if you're a first time mom or a mom of three like myself you'll learn techniques that are helpful and the Thompson community is super supportive. I love it! I added 2 photos of some funny moments my little and I have had recently.”

“The Thompson Method program is worth every penny. Dr Robyn’s knowledge and commitment to helping every step along a woman’s breastfeeding journey is incredible (and priceless). I literally spent $1000’s on lactation consultants and pediatricians with my first baby and no one could help. 2nd time around, signed up for Dr Robyn’s program and it’s been the most incredible experience. My milk supply is plentiful and there’s NO PAIN whatsoever. I just wished I found you before I had my first. Thank you for all that you do to help us women.”

“We have made it to 1 year exclusively breastfeeding. ❤ I could not have done this without the knowledge the program has given me. Thank you Dr. Robyn and team! I purchased while pregnant because this is my 3rd baby but my first time breastfeeding. I wanted to learn as much as I could before I had delivered. The knowledge was amazing and the empowerment was priceless. I felt great going into it. I had some pain and got a quick response from a member of the team and was corrected and have been pain free except when teeth came in 😳🤣 we made it 1 year. With no end in sight.”

“Just wanted to say thanks to Dr. Thompson and all the beautiful, wonderful support people we have here. Our breastfeeding journey has come to end and I am very happy with the results. Some back story - I breastfed my son for 390 days using a nipple shield the entire time. We were never able to fully wean off the shield so we just kept with it. I had good supply and we made due with the situation but I never really enjoyed breastfeeding. In fact, I disliked it and it felt like a chore. This time around with my daughter, I wanted to be better prepared. I took the course. I felt ready to be in a better position with breastfeeding. She came fast and furiously, no time for drugs, we had many golden hours together and I followed the method to the best of my ability. We had some bumps (nipple pain, biting 😬) but we made it through with care and support from the team. I still didn't love breastfeeding but I didn't hate it this time either. We weaned a couple weeks ago as she was really not taking much anymore and had begun to bite again so we ended our time with breastfeeding. We made it to 385 days. My goal was always a year so thank you for helping me achieve that. Pic of baby girl who's hair has become quite unruly lol ❤️”

“This week marked 6 months of breastfeeding my little one!!! Here are a couple of pictures of us at 2 months (left) and at 6 months (right). You might be able to tell in the 2-month photo that I had been crying. My lactation consultant had told me I had very low supply, that my baby wasn’t getting enough food, and that I would starve my baby and dry up further if I didn’t do triple feeding with pumping and formula. I was DEVASTATED. I asked my husband to take that 2-month picture because I thought every feed was one of our last and wanted pics to remember my breastfeeding time. I was so sad and tired from triple feeding that we actually went to stay with my parents for a while so that my mom could take care of me while I took care of baby. While I was there, my mom and I started taking the Thompson Method course online, and we also had a rescue session with Rachael. It turned my whole feeding experience around and reframed my understanding of supply. No more pain, no more pumping, and NO MORE TRIPLE FEEDING. I still struggle with fear about supply because my lactation consultant scared me so bad early on, but baby is thriving and having plenty of dirty diapers, and he’s now above average for length, so I know he’s growing! I’m forever grateful to the Thompson Method team for helping us make it to 6 months!!! Hoping to keep at it for many more months!!! P.S. I really struggled with whether to try the Thompson Method course because I had already spent around $2k on treatments (including tongue tie releases, baby physical therapy, supplements, creams, massagers, etc.) but the course and the rescue program have been the two BEST things I spent money on as part of my breastfeeding journey. 100% worth it. And guess what, after completing them, I haven’t ended up having to buy anything else!”

“Thanks to the Thompson Method we have made it to 3 months of exclusively breastfeeding - a quarter of the way to our goal of one year! I started the program when I was 38 weeks pregnant and I could not be happier with all of the knowledge I received. I know if I had only gone by what the nurses were telling me in the hospital - forceful techniques, asymmetrical latching that leads to nipple damage, etc. - we would not be here today. This road can be challenging at times but I would not trade it for the world. Thank you to Dr. Thompson and her amazing team!”

“Amazing programme! As a first time mum it has given me such confidence to trust myself and my body. Our boy was premature and I was told by nurses in the hospital we would never breastfeed successfully and he would ALWAYS need bottles. Well after nearly 3 weeks of pumping and bottle feeding we switched to exclusive breastfeeding and never looked back! With access to the content forever and being able to ask for help in their group has been well worth the money! I'm so glad I decided to buy. The girls are so lovely and supportive. I am 11months breastfeeding my little boy and I really hope he wants to feed for so much longer! I used to think I would breastfeed if I could and generally thought we wouldn't breastfeed for very long, as I have a lot of aversion to my nipples being touched/breasts exposed. But I am loving the experience! I now dream of tandem feeding my gorgeous boy and our next baby and knowing I still have all the content there to read through and all the support from the girls I feel confident taking on this next experience. Thank you.”

“I am so grateful to have found The Thompson Method. Being a first to Mom there were a lot of unknowns. There's pregnancy, labor, birth and everything that comes afterward. But learning the Thompson Method has made my breastfeeding journey so magical. We are now 4 months EBF and loving it.”

“My goal was to breastfeed for a year; there were several ups and downs, times I thought I wouldn’t make it. The support and guidance from this program is priceless. Every piece of advice is consistent and backed by decades of research. I breastfed for 18 months, and could not have done it without the Thompson Method teaching me how to trust my own instincts and be sure in all the decisions I made. I am forever grateful I found this program!!”

“I just wanted to say thank you to the team for making our breastfeeding journey so pleasant! This is my second child being breastfed; this time around has been so much easier because of the guidance you have provided. We are 6 weeks in and we both have been healthy throughout. By to listening to the videos and Q&As, I felt confident and empowered to know what to do from the first moments after birth to now. Here is my son, Elias "resting and digesting."”

“This weekend we will reach our one year breastfeeding goal. Never in a million years did I think I would accomplish this goal. I failed to breastfeed my first 3 and when I fell pregnant with my fourth I was resigned to the fact that I will probably not be successful again. That was until I saw a video of Dr Robyn talking about the 3 golden hours and a forceful breastfeeding techniques. Something inside of me clicked. Everything Dr Robyn talked about made so much sense to me because I had been through it. From that moment on I knew I had to learn more. Dr Robyn’s program changed everything for me. It should be taught in all hospitals around the world. I owe my breastfeeding success to Dr Robyn and her amazing team. It’s a bittersweet moment for me. I really wish I’d found The Thompson Method when I pregnant with my first, but so grateful to have been able to breastfeed with my last 💕”

“In so many ways, I cannot believe I am even writing this post and my journey is coming to an end! Me and my bubs have almost reached 16 months! The beginning is so hard, around the clock feeding, trying to get into a groove together and relax all at the same time and then click it all happens and it gets so amazing- the bonding that takes place is remarkable - the ease of it- no prep etc etc! A true symbiotic relationship!! We started weening at my babies lead- and this week seems like the end has arrived. I cannot thank this group enough for all the shared stories— so so helpful!!! Dr Thompson and to all the admin that make this page what it is- amazing- thank you!!!! Forever grateful that i got to share this experience with my baby! My first child never latched-and this was so important for me!! Thank you thank you thank you!! And to all the mamas out there questioning it- you can do it!!! You got this!!! A picture of me and my lil guy saying the Thompson Method is #1!!!!”

“Yesterday was Baby Boy’s 1st Birthday! Which also means him and I made it to ONE YEAR of Breastfeeding!! 💚 I did not do every single thing that this method suggested, 100% of the time but the one thing I ALWAYS did, as recommended, was trust myself and listen to my body and my baby! I credit this method/program for helping me gain the confidence needed to not only advocate for myself and baby when he was born but also to combat my own anxiety and insecurities about breastfeeding and trust that I knew and still know what I’m doing. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this program and thank you for this group! I’m so so happy that it is my Baby’s Birthday but I’m also so proud of me for not giving up on our breastfeeding journey!”
