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 the clear information taught in the course and the amazing support and guidance I received in my rescue session, I have been exclusively breastfeeding my 5.5 month old twins so far and going strong! The Thompson Method helped me figure out how to tandem nurse my twins with less pain and more confidence. I had so many questions, doubts, and concerns about my ability to nurse but the practitioner, Rachael, was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and empowering. Thank you!!!”

“I just wanted to share that we’ve successfully made it 10 months of exclusively breastfeeding!!! ♥️🥰♥️🥰 I kept telling myself if I could at least make it to 6 months then I would be happy….but here we are still going strong at 10 months! I’m so incredibly grateful to the Thompson method. I definitely don’t think I would have made it this far without all the videos and encouragement and advice I received!”

“Just wanted to shout a big thank you to this method and Dr. Thompson showed me that I was right in thinking there was a better way to breast-feed babies! All my Mother friends that breast-feed told me it hurts like crazy for the first two weeks, but you just have to push through and then after that it’s not so painful. I could barely make it because the pain was so excruciating. But this method saved my breast-feeding journey with my first sonat eight weeks. I breast fed him until just shy of 22 months. I reached out to this group again when my second son was born and we were struggling after four days. Jill Duke was wonderful and so patient in helping me. We are now 13 weeks into our breast-feeding journey, and doing so well! So thank you Thompson method, breast-feeding, group, and all those amazing women who are helping to try and educate the world. That breast-feeding is not supposed to be painful! pic of my chunky monkey and his older brother!”

“This method and program were so incredible and instrumental in our breastfeeding success. I’ve had next to no issues and thanks to Dr. Thompson’s research and comprehensive Q&A library, every time I did have a small blip I knew what to do. It is absolutely in large part due to this method, Dr. Thompson, and everyone in her community that my little sweetpea and I have come to her 6 month mark today and have had such a smooth, successful time exclusively nursing (which I know isn’t desirable, practical, or possible for many mamas). These moments are invaluable and so blissful and magical for me—most of the time 😆—and I often hope and pray I won’t forget how it feels when her little hand is clutching my finger while she suckles to sleep. To all the mamas out there going through a struggle (as we have at times!!) or expecting your little ones and fretting about all the things that seem to possibly go wrong (as I did!!), many of us are silently learning and having so much success, and we don’t always post about it. No matter how your journey goes YOU CAN DO IT and this community is here for you!!!! So much love from Marelina Luna Maurine and I. Thank you Dr. Thompson and team! 💖💖💖”

“Celebrating one month of breastfeeding after being so nervous I wouldn’t be capable or have it figured out before delivering. The information from TTM is so detailed and unlike any other training program. I did the beautiful breastfeeding program with a Thompson method rep. I loved having the ongoing support anytime I had a question or concern throughout the last month 💙”

“This has been an excellent programme for me. As a first time mum I was very anxious about breastfeeding & birth in general. The Thompson method programme made me feel knowledgeable during the later stages of pregnancy, it also gave me the confidence to make my own decisions throughout my journey. After birth in the first few months the support that the programme & private Facebook group gave was invaluable. I now have a happy & healthy 1 year old that I’m so proud to have fed for so long & will continue to feed until she no longer needs it. I will always recommend the Thompson method to every expectant mother.”

“I’m grateful for this community and so glad I purchased the programme during pregnancy. After a slow start to our breastfeeding journey I’m now confident enough to feed my 12 week old in public (something I never thought I could do) I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get a head start on their breastfeeding journey or those who have already started and need some extra support.”

“We did it!!! My little man was born early Saturday morning at 2:26am. We had two golden hours and completed our first breastfeed. He latched so well!!! Other than sleepy baby from epidural we have had a successful and pain free experience. It’s Thursday and I’m completely confident in the start of our journey. NO NIPPLE TRAUMA! Something to be said about following instincts and trusting your baby’s innate ability to nurse. Thank you for your research and empowering moms to succeed in breastfeeding. I will recommend this program to anyone and everyone I know!”

“18 months and going strong! 🥹 We're down to 2 feeds a day but my little one won't be giving up either feed for a while. Tonight she decided to share her milk with her baby and unlatched a couple of times so she could let her baby have some. I'm so so grateful for this method and group. I don't think I would have made it this far if it weren't for the information I've learned here. I've fought of mastitis at least four times, dealt with a cracked nipple, weaned off a nipple shield and nursed a young baby through a couple of illnesses. I've made it through with the help of my husband and all the skills I've learned with this program. Thank-you to everyone who has made it possible!”

“Can’t say enough good things about this class. I wish I bought it before I had my first baby. But I didn’t know breastfeeding could be so complicated if you aren’t taught correctly. If you have your heart set on breastfeeding, I 100% recommend this class. It’ll pay for itself with the savings on formula. It was too painful to breastfeed my first baby, and I had to quit. But I’m exclusively breastfeeding my second, and I owe it to this class and group. This class needs to be taught to all nurses!”

“We’ve officially made it 6 months of exclusively breastfeeding. 🎉 No pumping, no bottles. Our birth wasn’t what I planned. Homebirth turned emergency c section for him being transverse. I didn’t get to hold him / nurse him for close to 3 hours after…despite that, he latched right away and my milk came in and he gained weight great. Very thankful for this. During pregnancy I took a local lactation class and in the hospital a lactation consultant gave some advice. I was taught the cross cradle method like most women are. That’s pretty much the only information they shared. Things were fine for awhile but he started having terrible gas pains around 6 weeks and I wanted to help him so badly. Thinking it had to do with feeding, I had another lactation consultant come to my house and she too taught the cross cradle, shove the breast in mouth method. She said he had a severe tongue tie that was affecting his latch and feeding. I was told he’d need a tongue tie revision to get a good latch. I stumbled upon The Thompson Method (thank the Lord!!! 🙌🏻) and gobbled up the information. Once we started practicing face symmetry and doing the rest and digest, his gastro issues resolved! I had been over feeding him from full breasts. No tongue tie revision and his latch is great! I had never once been told the importance of the rest and digest period, the importance of L R, R L feeding, or the importance of face symmetry. Had I not found The Thompson Method, we probably wouldn’t have the joy filled breastfeeding relationship that we have now. 🥺 I’m so thankful I get to nourish my baby the way I desire and I pray we can go another 1.5+ years. Thank you to all the moderators that answer questions. May you all be abundantly blessed. And thank you Dr. Robyn, to your dedication to helping breastfeeding moms. 🫶🏻 Pay it forward ladies! Tell everyone you know about The Thompson Method so they can have a successful journey. 🤍 I’ve shared with so many mamas and will continue to! (Photo from when he was a 4 week old peanut before I knew about The Thompson Method. He’s now a 6 month old 20+ pound healthy boy.)”

“A milestone reached - baby Greta is now 1 month old and our shared breastfeeding journey is getting better and smoother day by day. We had a rough start - the birth itself (induced, vaginal birth at 40 weeks 2 days with no epidural or any painkillers) was amazing but I got traumatised by the feeding method I was forced to do by the hospital crew. 'Imagine your breast is a hamburger your baby wants to bite into' they said, and my baby's head was pushed onto my firmly gripped breasts again and again. My nipples were bleeding and bruised after only a day or two and I was scared of every feeding time... I started using a nipple shield, but the pain was still so bad I cried whenever the feeding started. My husband was telling me fo give her formula, which I refused and a lactation consultant mentioned to me after 2 weeks that I might not have enough milk... she also told me to take off the nipple shield. I got even more scared (Greta was gaining weight but very slowly) and as my nipples were almost healed, I took off the nipple shields, went cold turkey and never looked back. By this time I was aware of the Thompson method, we read the articles, a book and watched the videos together with my husband and were blown away by the information that was clear and sooo logical in them. So I started feeding Greta by this method and now there is no more crying, blood or panic. My milk is more than enough, and Greta gained 900 grams since her release from the hospital. Thank you for all the support and information, without this method and this group I would still be very lost and scared.”

“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!”

“Because of this program, my son latched right away and I have very minimal pain when breastfeeding. It has been a major success and the community is really supportive and helpful! Grateful that I had gotten this program and had an idea of what to expect for delivery, first few days, and the journey after.”

“As a life long member I tapped into the program again with my second child. 6 months and still going strong exclusively breastfeeding. Freezer full of milk from when I was pumping in the early days being used to mix into solids and I couldn’t be happier. My experience with bub number two has been completely different and I owe it to you Robin. Thank you”

“Hands down, The Thompson Method has been the best investment! I started the program when I was 28 weeks pregnant. It filled me with all the confidence I needed for my birth and breastfeeding journey. My baby is just over 5 weeks old, has been gaining weight beautifully, and my supply has been amazing. The best part? I have had ZERO pain. I can’t believe it. I'm loving every moment of my breastfeeding journey, thanks to Dr Robyn and her team. I can’t recommend The Thompson Method enough.”

This is such a great community of people and Im so grateful to be apart of it 💐 Thank you!!”

“Let me start by saying this time around I have LOVED breastfeeding! I would never have thought those words would ever have come out of my mouth. No nipple damage. Not even any pain! My milk came in on day 3. No top ups. It was like a dream come true. My first breastfeeding experience was traumatic to say the least. Nipple damage from day one. I had no idea what I was doing and no one to lean on when I needed help. The midwives were lovely at the hospital but they just didn’t seem to be worried about the fact that I was in so much pain. They just kept reassuring me that it would get better. It didn’t. It got a lot worse, til at 3 weeks I had to switch to formula with every intention of trying again once my nipples healed but sadly it didn’t happen. I knew something had to change this time around. And oh my goodness, it was like night and day. I got the program as soon as I found out I was pregnant, and I never looked back. The price seemed very reasonable given that it was lifetime access. There was so much that just made sense and I understood where I went wrong first time around. I reached out in the Club as soon as I gave birth, because I had a moment of doubt but I was met with a mountain of support and reassuring guidance, encouraging me to trust my instincts, which I did. It was all I needed to bring everything back to just me and my baby. I just feel so fortunate that I found Dr Robyn and her program. I am blessed to still be breastfeeding my little man at 6 months and I plan to keep going til he’s ready. Thank you Thompson Method. Thank you to the Thompson Method team. You are all wonderful ♥️”

“The information seems decent but it really didn't offer anything new that I didn't already know. Not only that but the refund policy is only 14 days from purchase so if you purchase it in time to get through it before baby, if nothing works then it wad a waste of money. I'm saddened that it didn't work for me and the money I could be putting towards formula was thrown at this and wasted.”

Hi Sam, I'm really sorry to hear that our program did not meet your expectations. We take all feedback very seriously, and do our best to continually improve the education and support we provide. I notice you didn't reach out for help in the Breastfeeding Club, which is a shame, as we have an expert team of Admins ready to provide guidance and support 24/7. I would like to reassure you that if the time comes when you fall pregnant again, I invite you to reach out for guidance as you do have lifetime access to both the program and the Breastfeeding Club. I would be most happy to guide you through the program to ensure that you are getting full benefit from Dr Robyn's 50 years of midwifery experience. Thank you for sharing. Your feedback is invaluable and I wish you well in your unique journey. Warm regards, Marie - Team Member 💗
