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...

“As a first time I was unaware of so many things and unfortunately people around you and medical professionals never inform you of. The Thompson method gave me the tools, knowledge and confidence to be able to be prepared for the birth, know of my rights and of course breastfeeding and the importance of the connection between mother and baby. Whenever I had any questions or needed help (I had a difficult start to bf) and the team were amazing. Provided me with guidance and encouragement regardless of my decisions. Thank you so much to everyone including the amazing community.”

“Dr Robyn is incredibly knowledgeable, caring and passionate about breastfeeding and babies in general. The entire team was super empathetic and helpful throughout my whole journey. I would never in my wildest dreams believe that here I am, still exclusively breastfeeding my almost 10month old little girl. Wow, just wow!”

“The Thompson Method provided me with education and guidance for my pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding that none of my medical providers (OBs, Nurses, Lactation Consultants, etc) did. With what I learned from The Thompson Method, I had the confidence to advocate for myself and my baby through the entire process. As a result, I have had the perfect experience, the experience I had always imagined and dreamed of. I have had no issues latching, no nipple trauma, have not had to use a nipple shield, did not have to supplement with formula, have had no supply issues and my babe has gained weight beautifully! (All of these complications, and then some more, did happen with my first baby because I had not discovered this method yet!) My daughter is almost 14mos and still nursing like a pro. This program was a life saver and I could not be anymore grateful!”

“I can say with 100% confidence that The Thompson Method is what saved our breastfeeding journey. After a long NICU stay, I was determined to keep breastfeeding but found that the techniques taught by the lactation consultants we had seen were leaving both myself and my daughter frustrated. In a last-ditch effort, I purchased The Thompson Method and the difference was immediate! The support and care from the admin team, encouragement from other mothers, and the intuitive nature of the course are unmatched. Breastfeeding went from one of the most stressful times in our house to one of the most coveted, peaceful times and everyone was able to relax. Now my daughter is 19 months old and we're still going strong!”

“I purchased this program while I was pregnant. My son ended up delivering early and I was so glad I went ahead and combed through this program early on into my pregnancy! In the hospital I was very adamant that I was using this method and advocated for my rights to baby (3 golden hours, etc) and by the time we left even nurses were shocked by how well we had established breast feeding! I give it all to the program. We’ve been 4 months EBF so far and I couldn’t be more proud!”

“We celebrated my first breastfeeding milestone of 16 weeks today. I am very excited about this! I had a rather heartbreaking experience with my first. As much as we tried, I was unable to breastfeed. But this time around I am successful. There are no words to describe how grateful I am for all the knowledge and guidance this program has provided me. This has been a truly amazing experience and I cannot wait to reach my next milestone.”

“I owe SO much to the Thompson Method!! I managed to fight tooth and nail to breastfeed my son (now 3) until he was 14 months old, but it was never without pain. When I found the Thompson Method during my second pregnancy, I was so excited to tackle breastfeeding again armed with more knowledge and an actual game plan. Unfortunately the journey with my daughter started out much the same. She latched on easily but the latch was SO incredibly painful, and my nipples were sore and bleeding within a day. I threw myself headfirst into this method and spent hours a day devouring all the course materials and trying anything and everything. I did several rescue sessions with Rachael Austin and those helped immensely, along with constant support from the online community. Somewhere around 6 weeks everything finally started to click into place and the pain gradually subsided, until it was gone! We have now been exclusively breastfeeding for 10.5 months and the early weeks of struggle are thankfully a distant memory. There aren't words for how grateful I am to this method and this community for giving me the gift of a beautiful breastfeeding journey with my daughter!”

“I'm a fourth-time Mum and wasn't able to breastfeed my first 3 babies due to breastfeeding pain. This is my fourth and last baby and the first I've been able to successfully breastfeed. I'm currently 4 months EBF and am beyond happy. Thank you Dr Robyn for creating such a wonderful program and support team. I'm forever grateful. If you are sitting on the fence wondering if you should do this program, 100% do it. It's a drop in the ocean compared to other things we spend money on. It's the best thing I ever did.”

“Thank you to the Thompson Method I made it to 1 year exclusively breastfeeding 🤱🏼 I studied the method while pregnant, came up with my plan to advocate for myself and my babies breastfeeding journey and ended up being the FIRST mother at the hospital I delivered to nurse in the OR! I cherished our 3 uninterrupted golden hours and never dealt with nipple damage 🙌🏻 To say I'm grateful is an UNDERSTATEMENT 🥹 Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and making my breastfeeding goals a reality! We see no end in site of our nursing journey 💕”

“Don’t think twice about this course - buy it mama and you absolutely won’t regret it!! I truly cannot overestimate how valuable this course has been and continues to be, and all the support that’s come with it. As a new mama I underestimated the breastfeeding journey; how, if the latch and approach isn’t quite right, it can affect both your breasts and the whole feeding experience. At day 4 I was in tears, petrified of feeding because of how painful it had become. It was genuinely traumatic, and I would often scream in pain and my little darling would stress in turn. The Thompson method is why our little girl (now 6 weeks) is thriving today. The course was a thoughtful gift from my besty who did the course and found it so immensely beneficial as well. There are videos and suggestions for everything, and I’ve truly been blown away by all the support you fet along the way The RT Facebook group has been a salvage of support and answers thanks to Robyn’s admin team, especially as we navigate our way through new experiences and feeding phases. I was also lucky to meet Robyn who took me through my first pain free feeding experience on my right breast - and can confirm she’s as lovely as she seems in those videos! If you’re looking for an intuitive, judgment free and painless breastfeeding experience this is it!”

“The Thompson Method is amazing it's a family of mummy's that were all in the same boat and support each other by telling our stories gaining expert support from Dr Robyn and team. No forceful techniques just slow steady and without it I wouldn't be where I am today.”

“TTM gave me an education and knowledge of my body, birthing rights and breastfeeding that no other ore natal class does and offers continued support forever afterwards. And set me up for a great birthing experience and breast feeding journey. You are not only supported by a team of wonderfully knowledgable TTM gurus but you are also backed up by a community of mums all going through similar experiences good and bad. I recommend TTM to all my pregnant friends. Thank you TTM 💖”

“The Thompson Method has helped me massively with not hurting no more when latching to helping with damaged nipples through this teething stage. If I didn’t have the support of this program and the things I have learnt through this I don’t think we would have made it 5 months. I’m again feeling confident we can go even further so thank you to The Thompson Method for all the advise and information you provide. X”

“I have got to breastfeed my son for a whole year of breastfeeding through ups and downs (mostly ups since the breastfeeding well established) all thanks to The Thompson Method. In the beginning, I had to supplement for a week, then pumping like mad for a month until figured it was not working well physically and mentally. I have got a bad clogged, mastitis, and breast abscess due to that. Finally did a rescue with great guidance from Dr Robyn and Sarah Jackson, we got back in track with breastfeeding. Started with shield for 2 weeks and he learned to do without successfully after. Since then, I have recommended this Method to all my pregnant friends. There are still challenges but nothing major, through all the teething and sickness. Im so happy to still breastfeeding now (my goal was 6 months) hopefully to the 2 years mark. Thank you so very much Dr Robyn for your method. I know I wont get this far without it.”

“I just wanted to say the Thompson method really saved me. I ended up exclusively pumping with my first because after 5 days she refused to latch. After she was born, I had to pump because I didn’t have the support or education I needed to exclusively breastfeed her. With my second, I found the Thompson method and as soon as she was born, had no problem latching and feeding. I wish I would have found this with my first because the whole course has been incredible. My second is 9 months old now and still going strong exclusively bf. I am so thankful for finding the Thompson menthod ❤️”

“My experience with the Thompson Method has been nothing short of life-changing. I've just reached my 1-year goal and am thrilled. This is my 3rd baby and the first time I've successfully breastfed. My sincere thanks go out to Dr Robyn for creating such a valuable resource. Additionally, I want to thank the admins of the support group for being available to me wherever I needed them. There are no words to describe how grateful I am.”

“I had a lot of anxieties when I found out I was pregnant with my third child at the age of 38. I had my first two babies in my early twenties from my first marriage and they both came prematurely at 32 weeks and were too small to latch on. I was nervous about breastfeeding this time around for that very same reason and because of the formula shortage and I just want to say thank you to everyone in the group and this method. I was able to be very vocal from the start when Elijah was born at 36 weeks. I had all my wishes granted, we have been successfully breastfeeding for his first month of life and I don't see an end in sight. 💚”
