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...

“Having worked in Early Childhood Education for almost 15 years, before becoming a mother, I had some good ideas what was expected about being a mom. I knew I could prepare myself for giving birth, but the thing that freaked me out the most was breastfeeding. I’ve seen mom after mom struggle with breastfeeding. I had no education on breastfeeding, so I couldn’t help. Next week will be 18 months of breastfeeding with my baby. She’s more of a toddler now, but with the good foundation that The Thompson Method gave me, I was able to only feed her breastmilk until she started solids, and continued breastfeeding to help comfort her during teething. I can not recommend this program enough. Between my doula and The Thompson Method, I didn’t need to go into see a lactation consultant. And with my bad experience with the hospital lactation consultant, I didn’t want to see one that hasn’t gone through The Thompson Method.”

“I had every intention of diving head first into breastfeeding but when the babe made her appearance we found she had a good sized hemangioma on her upper lip making latching quite difficult. Following the Thompson Method, I got my golden hours but when she did try to latch, due to a 27 hour labor plus epidural she was tired and a bit lazy about it. Thankfully, due to this program, I was fully prepared. I expected the tiredness due to having the epidural and started collecting colostrum at 36 weeks being lucky enough to have lots stored up ready for action. I immediately made the mindset adjustment to not put too much pressure on myself thanks to the previous comments from admins I'd seen on other people's posts reminding so many moms how amazing we're doing even when things aren't going just as we imagined or hoped. So I dove head first into pumping, got ourselves set up with appropriate bottles/nipples based upon Dr. Robyn's recommendations and kept letting her try to latch before feeds. Never knowing if it would work out for us or not. Knowing the epidural would take a few days to work it's way out of her system plus the lip issue, I let her guide me and followed my instincts on how to handle. At 3 days old both my milk came in and we got a beautiful latch and she nursed following the recommendations of each breast with a rest and digest period in between. I was floored and so thankful. Regardless of what breastfeeding path gets travelled Dr. Robyn and team are supportive and prepared to arm moms with knowledge to make the right decisions for ourselves and our babes. Thankful I found this program full of support and resources and never could've imagined how empowered it would make me feel.”

“I was determined to breast feed my baby. This collection of videos made me feel like I had enough information to be confident going in. I have never had to use formula which I am so thankful for in this time. My daughter just turned 1 and I still get to nurse her in the morning and at night. Dr Thompson and her team have so much experience and knowledge in this department and made me feel very comfortable in my ability to exclusively breast feed my baby.”

“I love this program, as a first time mum my midwife encouraged me to buy The Thompson Method and it has helped us so much! Any time I had a query I was able to search in the group and find something that helped us, lots of mummy’s are going through the same thing at the same time so you’ll find someone has more than likely asked the question that you have. I really like the that Dr Robyn makes you feel empowered to ask questions about the benefits/risks/alternatives if you are placed in a situation that you hadn’t planned for I would also recommend to buy it before you think you need it…better to be prepared than to wait to fix a problem We are 8 months into our breastfeeding journey and still going strong! 🤍”

“This course made it possible for me to breastfeed and provide milk for my baby for 7 months! After he was born preemie we had latch and supply issues from day 1 and the nurses in the hospital all had different advice to give, which was very overwhelming. I bought the course once we were able to bring him home and I was finally able to get him to latch and feed comfortably. I highly recommend getting this course, but especially getting it in advance during pregnancy so that you can be prepared before you get to the hospital.”

“When I brought my daughter home I was terrified..I was rushed through the nursing process at the hospital despite having the thompson method already, I was hoping for real guidance at the hospital. They forced me into the cross cradle method and squeezed my breasts causing me pain. When home i struggled with a painful latch, poor supply and just exhausted ready to give up..until I reached out to the admins! They were so caring and helpful and made me realize I was doing my best and to just keep at it and everything would be okay. We worked through jaundice, sleepiness from my epidural, tongue and lip ties until my supply came in and she was finally happy! We are now at one year of breastfeeding exclusively with zero issues since then and very happy. I am beyond grateful for the thompson method it saved my journey with my daughter. We have no end in sight as of yet!”

“After 2 lactation consultants, mastitis, blebs, and painful breastfeeding, I found this method and I am SO happy to say that baby and I are able to successfully nurse for over 16 months! Our journey has come to an end (although he still goes for and tries to latch and then just smiles after so I know he’s just playing). Breastfeeding has given me so much confidence by not giving a care to how some people may perceive it especially in public. Stick with it mamas! I recommend this to all moms who chooses to nurse.”

“Definitely worth the money. Very supportive community, loads of pre-birth knowledge and education then the focus is on trusting your instincts. This had a massive influence on me trusting myself and my body, wish more women felt that way. We have just successfully weaned too which again I felt I could tackle easily because of the programme. You must watch the videos and then anything can be helped. I have the most content baby and BF has to be a part of that. Treat yourself and trust yourself. Also Dr Robyn is just so lovely, empowering and reassuring.”

“This course got me to a point where I felt confident and empowered to BF my baby as a FTM. I still faced challenges but these did not derail our journey unlike I feel they would have had it not been for the Thompson Method. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s been a dream and is still going strong… Also during our journey we have been provided speedy reassuring video footage of answers to questions that had been tapping at me about transitioning to food with my daughter. On tap help and support with all things breastfeeding”

“Honestly this program was well worth the small price to achieve successfully breastfeeding my second bub. I wish I could have discovered it before my first baby. I had so many problems trying to breastfeed my first bub so joined this program before having my second and learnt SO much about how various interventions can impact the breastfeeding journey. This program gave me the confidence to avoid unnecessary interventions in the early days (like pressure to bottle feed bub with top ups) and also so much about proper positioning to avoid pain. I also loved the fb group that I could get reassurance and expert advice when I was in the thick of it in the first few days after birth. I’m now happily breastfeeding my 7mth old with no end in sight. I would recommend this to everyone wanting to successfully breastfeed, the program has a wealth of information!”

“Well worth the investment if you are a first time parent or have had trouble breastfeeding in the past! My breastfeeding journey with my firstborn was a nightmare. I persevered despite little support (“just put her on formula!” I kept being told…) and solved all the issues over time, but it could have been so much easier if I’d found this program before her birth. Fast forward to baby #2 and I purchased this program and went through the videos prior to his birth. I made sure he got his golden hours and plenty of skin-to-skin contact whilst my supply was establishing, and he had no trouble feeding. So much easier than my first time around, I can’t stress enough how valuable the education this program provides is, and all health professionals that have anything to do with babies should be learning about this method!”

“Invaluable resource! Detailed and really helpful, I know it’s a lot of content but just the wonderful Facebook group with the adms reaching out to you when you have questions is a marvelous thing! I’m SO happy I decided to take a look at this again with my second daughter and I’m finally successfully breastfeeding my second, I’m amazed!”

“I’m two days post partum- delivered baby boy at 36 weeks and 6 days and have had to endure SO much pressure and wrath from the system for having a baby “under 37 weeks” I just want to say I’m so thankful to have had the knowledge and preparedness to advocate for myself and him through these past two days. Every single person who has intervened in or attempted to advise me about breastfeeding uses the methods distinctly discouraged here. I had a pediatrician and a nurse forcefully shove his head onto my breast and had to ask them to please take their hands off him and let him guide himself. I had one lactation consultant use the words “force with love.” It’s just unbelievable and I know I would be terribly miserable without the guidance and support from the Thompson Method. Thank you.”

“I bought this program before we were even pregnant, as preparation for breastfeeding. I heard stories of women who were unable to breastfeed or had a lot of trouble doing so and I wanted to be prepared for it without assuming it was just going to happen naturally. Little did I realise that the program was actually an entire suite of prenatal and birth classes which was perfect because during cv I was not able to attend any prenatal classes or birth information sessions. It empowered me to know what to expect during the last trimester, labour, birth, straight after birth, coming home and feeding the baby at different ages. Even right up to introducing food and breastfeeding into the toddler years. As a result of the videos I watched I was confident to make a decision about what I knew was right and to stand up for my instinct and decisions. Cannot recommend more. It's also 40% off today! So worth it! They also have an online support group where you can get help, which, just reading all the other ladies posts got me so prepared for what could come up. Highly recommend!! I had no idea what to expect as a first time mum and my mother and mother-in-law were not much help as they said it was all too long ago 😅 If you want a comprehensive preparation for birth and after this is amazing.”

“We have been exclusively breastfeeding now for 5 months thanks to Dr Robyn Thompson and her team. I don’t think I would have survived the first few challenging months without the help and support. I was naive and thought breastfeeding would just come naturally. For those first few months we suffered through 4 bouts of mastitis, a fussy baby and a huge oversupply. But thanks to a breastfeeding rescue session with Dr Robyn we made it though the other side. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my little one ❤️”

“We made it! 1 whole year of breastfeeding, no formula and only a few bottles of expressed milk during the first 6 months so I could catch some sleep. So pleased, and happy to continue going as long as she wants this year. Im a 34yr first time mama, who battled with gestational diabetes, pre & post natal depression, underlying heart condition (SVT) and had to go through 2x ECV and then planned C section. I am so glad I had Dr Robyn Thompsons method and resources to aid my husband and myself as we navigated all that. Giving me confidence to trust my maternal instincts, relax and allow my baby and I to learn breastfeeding successfully.”

“Hello I just have to thank everyone in the Thompson Method for helping me EBF my baby girl. We are 5 months in and still going strong! I am incredibly grateful that I’m able to feed my baby and not worry about the very scary formula shortage. I’ve never been one to judge a mom for choosing to EBF or use formula, or mix - a full baby is best, however that happens. My heart goes out to all the moms who are stressing and worried about getting their babies the nutrition they need. ❤️”

“I purchased this program because I was not successful in breastfeeding our first baby and I really wanted to be able to do it with our second. I purchased in my last trimester and began watching the videos and following the threads in the private Facebook group. Thanks to this program, I am going into breastfeeding with so much more knowledge and assistance than previously. My previous experience was terrible and I received all different information from lactation consultants at the hospital with very little guidance. The Thompson Method is consistent information and guidance. The private Facebook Group is not everyone just sharing their opinions, but actual consultants who share tutorial videos and information to help you succeed. We are facing an extreme formula shortage in the United States and thanks to this program, I feel more confident about breastfeeding going into having our second baby who is due in 2 weeks. Just knowing that I can turn to them for help is comforting. The videos are both verbal information, as well as examples of women breastfeeding their babies which have been very informative. The examples of mothers going through the process of fixing a technique has been most helpful in learning. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for putting this program out there. I truly feel like this is all I need to help me through this next journey successfully.”
