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...

“Thank goodness I had gone through the program prior to having my daughter. We got no support in the hospital and had I not participated we wouldn’t have had a successful journey. I fed my daughter for 22 months with no bottles, pumping or formula. The club was an amazing resource for troubleshooting any issues. Looking forward to my next breastfeeding journey to start!”

“Gratitude post Before I started the Thompson method I never thought in a million years I would be posting this. Today marks 3 months of successful pain free and problem free breastfeeding my third son. with my first son I had severe nipple trauma, repeated bouts of incredibly bad mastitis and ended up in hospital with an abscess. I felt like the people who should have been supporting me really let me down with many different midwives and health visitors failing to spot that I had thrust in my nipples. I felt completely lost and didn’t know where to turn or help. The excruciating pain stress and anxiety lead me to give up when he was about 10 weeks old. My second son was born 18 months later and when I came down with a severe case of mastitis when he was 5 weeks old I decided to give up straight away as I couldn’t face going through the trauma of what I went through with my first again. I had all my babies at home and desperately wanted to breastfeed them both and it really impacted me that I couldn’t. 5 years later and I had my Third son on 30th Aug this year. I had come across the Thompson method early in my pregnancy and purchased the course. I genuinely believed that someone was wrong with my breasts so didn’t hold much hope that it would work but I am so delighted to be posted this to say that it did! It’s be plain sailing since day one. I never thought I could make it to 3 months let alone without a single issue! This is the longest I have ever managed to breastfeed and I hope this journey continues the way it has started. I will be forever grateful to Dr Robyn and her team for being courageous enough to challenge the status quo when it comes to breastfeeding. I only wish this was rolled out in the NHS and maybe I could have had successful outcomes with my older boys.”

“We just had our weight check at 5 days old and baby boy is officially 1 oz above birth weight (he had dropped 4 oz in the hospital). I just wanted to say that this method really works and it was a life savor for us. His pediatrician was astonished that he was already above birth weight since this is my first baby - first time breastfeeding. We didn’t have the most ideal start with some issues during delivery that interfered with the golden hours, but this program gave me a plan and we recovered. I’m sure we’ll have some bumps down the road, but so far, he’s thriving.”

“I used the Thompson Method to prepare for and exclusively breastfeed my oldest daughter for 18 months with very little, if any, nipple trauma. Now, 3 years later, I’m able to take what I’ve learned about breastfeeding a single baby and apply it to breastfeeding my twins, in tandem or separately.”

“Just want to show my gratitude for how much The Thompson Method has helped me so far. It was a struggle at first and I was close to giving up within the first week. But with this program and group filled with amazing admins and mamas, we pushed through and got past the most challenging part. My baby boy is only 6 weeks old and thriving and plan on going for as long as he needs 🩵”

“If you are on the fence about joining The Thompson Method community, jump. I had two daughters years and years ago, and Itried breastfeeding both. With both it ended very early. I had no clue what I was doing and I had no help. When my son came along 17 years after my first I knew I wanted to breastfeed. Formula shortage, Formula recalls, I wanted no part of it. So I started researching. In my searches I came across the Thompson method. I debated and was on the fence for a couple of months. But could I really do it all by myself? No...I made the jump. The difference was night and day. It was literally the difference between success and failure. When my boy was born I knew what to do, he latched right on and a year later he is still nursing like a champ. Anytime you have any trouble or questions you have help and it is wonderful. I can't thank Dr. Thompson enough for setting me up for success. Best thing I invested in for this baby.”

“As a first time mom, it was helpful to be able to prepare for breastfeeding by watching the videos before baby arrived to know what to expect. Those first few days in the hospital are stressful enough and knowing what was happening with my milk supply was one less stress. There’s so much information provided as well for once baby arrives and reaches new milestones like teething or if they are experiencing issues like reflux, which my baby did. Support from the Facebook group Administrators is really wonderful too when questions arise.”

“Just wanted to express my gratitude for Dr. Robyn's teaching and philosophy around motherhood. While her classes focus on the early days and actual breastfeeding, I've taken the "your instincts as a mother will never be wrong" to heart, especially as I battle PPD. It's led me to feeling comfortable feeding my daughter basically anywhere. I also use my handsfree pumps at work and sit in meetings when my presence really is necessary. When asked "what's that noise?!" by a client's boss, I proudly announced "I'm pumping!" while everyone else looked awkward that he had asked. 😂 TBM made me a confident, bada**, first time mom. Thank you to the whole admin team for being with us all every step of our journeys!!! ❤️”

“I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for this program! My daughter and I have begun the weaning process but as of Monday 9/18 we will have made it to a year! Since I wasn't able to get beyond 6 months with my son- making it to a year was a goal and we're nearly there! I wouldn't have been able to make it without this program. From the pregnancy videos to the delivery recommendations, and the importance of the 3 golden hours, my experience this go around with breastfeeding was like night and day! I wish I had this resource when I had my son. It was just a wonderful experience! I highly recommend!”

“I called to action a rescue course with this program. It was a last chance effort to salvage my breastfeeding journey, and it worked! It not only changed my perspective on breastfeeding but my whole outlook on my journey. I have now been exclusively breastfeeding for 10 months thanks to this course and the support and continuing education I received from it. I am forever grateful and a true believer in Dr. Robyn’s methods. Delivery is very accessible to new moms who are very overwhelmed and busy. Education and knowledge are just a question away it’s amazing. As a nurse, and a new mom the way I was explained about breast anatomy and function while breastfeeding was phenomenal and helped me gain more understanding of my body which was exactly what I needed ❤️ truly thank you.”

“Unbelievable support. Invaluable information. Amazing community. This is something that should be offered as a standard to all via a more official way … I feel strange to have just “come upon it on Facebook” and almost la but guilty that I have access to this resource and others don’t know of the secret treasure I found. I speak about it often to do my part to help others. I can’t imagine where I would be without this group. Now, going through my second pregnancy and first few weeks breastfeeding an entirely different baby, I’m forever indebted to Dr Thompson & her team.”

“I just wanted to say a massive thank you to The Thompson Method! I failed miserably to breastfeed my firstborn son but with this invaluable information, I am successfully breastfeeding and PAIN FREE as well. I was separated from my baby due to severe jaundice but I didn't panic because I knew exactly what to do while he was in NICU. I purchased your program early in my pregnancy and after watching all of the videos and reading all of the success stories in the support group I felt confident and prepared. I truly believe this made all of the difference this time around! I am one truly grateful Mumma!”

“My baby was 4 weeks early. I was prepared for what to expect with a baby that may have to be away from me. I questions were answered kindly and very quickly. The ladies are always helpful and encouraging. I used the Thompson Method for my 3 rd baby and we have so far breastfed for a year. I was only able to make it to 6 and 9 months with my first 2 babes. This was SO worth every penny. My baby was born when you couldn’t find formula easily and it never was a worry for me because I knew we were spot on and would be fine. I became an advocate for myself and my baby. I gained confidence to feed him whenever and wherever. I can not thank Dr Robyn and her team enough!!”

“Everyone should know about this program!! I wish this method would run in maternity wards and hospitals. These people are just amazing and so supportive!!! After giving up breastfeeding on day 5 with my first, I wanted to know everything in and out about breastfeeding for my second. Well, Thompson Method has it all!! My amazing husband gifted me this program at Christmas and I can say is the most beautiful and amazing gift I have ever received: to be able to breastfeed. We did have a rough start, an emergency C section, followed by sore nipples after 12h of life. Nurses pushing my baby to breast? No, thank you! Midwives respecting every single request? Yes, always! Because Thompson Method gave me the courage to be firm and listened to. I was supported by these kind people on every step and we are now into 3 months of lovely bond and a perfect supply for my little one, and we don't plan to stop at all. I will recommend this method to every single mom or mom to be for the rest of my life. I am so thankful to have these people in my life.”

“Kelly Faytrouni visited our home for the Breastfeeding Rescue package as this is my second breastfeeding journey and was determined to have a better experience. She came in with warmth, knowledge and understanding. Within 1 day of implementing her advice (the Thompson Method), my sore nipple completely healed and I am feeding both sides at every feed without pain. It feels so surreal to type those words after all the struggles with my first baby (I had damage on both sides for 4 months & was reduced to feeding off the least sore side for 1 year after giving up on the other side and eventually losing supply). I am in shock still & cannot thank Kelly enough for visiting ... everything changed since then. We are so happy & overflowing with gratitude! I can't believe it all came down to such minor tweaks in position - could not have done it without you - with special thanks to Dr Robyn's method.”

“I had my first pregnancy during lockdown in 2020, so I signed up for the Thompson Method course as I was unable to attend anything local or face to face. I'm so glad I did, because the advice was invaluable for both my birth and my breastfeeding journey. I successfully breastfed my son for 15 months. I am now just starting my second journey with my 3 day old daughter and it has got off to a great start using the Thompson Method.”
