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 50 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... Visit www.thethompsonmethod.com to find out more

So grateful I found The Thompson Method while I was pregnant with my first. It has helped me confidently breastfeed all 3 of my children (breastfeeding 5 years and counting). Love that there is lifetime access as I went back to review things as needed. The videos were short and clear which meant I could learn even in the brain fog of third trimester and early postpartum. So glad her amazing legacy can continue, keep up the great work TTMB team!

Dr Robyn saved my breastfeeding journey and I wish I had found her earlier. I struggled with my first but after finding her my second born breastfed easily and I was actually emotionally ready for it.
I had the pleasure of running into Dr Robyn at dinner in Brisbane. What an amazing woman, may her legacy live on and her principles become standard practice in our health systems globally. She has done wonders for me and many others that I see posting their journeys in the program’s Facebook group.

The Thompson Method Breastfeeding course was a God-send for me. I am 18 months into breastfeeding and still going strong. I credit the course as one of the major factors to me making it this long. There is so much valuable information and resources provided through the Thompson Method. From the videos, Facebook group, and on-demand breastfeeding consultants, I had everything I needed as a new mom. Breastfeeding wasn’t easy for me as a first-time mom and is still a continuous labor of love, but I’m thankful for the supportive Thompson Method community. I can’t recommend this course and program enough!

As a first time mom, I had all the questions and concerns; including how to breastfeed successfully. I am so grateful to have discovered the Thompson Method which provided me with so much insight, empowerment and awareness of my body, baby and my gentle birth center labor. I kept going back to review the material when I was going through breastfeeding struggles and reading others experiences in the online community. I feel blessed to have been able to nurse my little one for 26 months! I know this is the reason my little one doesn’t have stomach issues, because of all the wonderful nutritious breast milk. I strongly recommend the Thompson Method to all expecting mamas!

The program did an ok job of explaining how breastfeeding gets started. However, the advice didn't really help my situation. I have very large breasts, an inverted nipple, and my baby was jaundice and had a tongue tie affecting latch and transfer. Although the program addressed this in some ways, the conclusions were basically "i can't tell you exactly what to do because each woman is individual". I was extremely unprepared for what I went through, and in my case needed a lot of individualized help with a local LC. After watching the class, i was left with the impression that I might never need a breast pump, and if I just let the baby latch on her own for the first 3 hours everything will be fine. I watched the videos in completion before birth and thought I knew what to expect. Instead, the first 2 weeks were the most nerve-wracking, exhausting of my life. There's no way I could use her positioning advice with my body type, nor did just letting baby come to the nipple work for me. I had to be much more hands-on, use lots of pillows, and eventually have my baby's tongue tie released. Perhaps I just had a different story, but unfortunately despite my hopes and best efforts, this class did not provide what I needed to get started breastfeeding.

I wouldn’t have been able to continue breastfeeding without this program.

This jewel of a program came across my Facebook just in time when I was pregnant with my first son. I was already planning to breastfeeding, but I am very sure that through Dr. Robyn and her team my breastfeeding journey was not only a decision but a commitment. Still today nursing my second son who is 23 months old I still tend to look back at videos for advice and helpful tips. I am beyond thankful for this program and would highly recommend it to any soon to be mother or even seasoned mother who is desiring to better her breastfeeding journey. Also let me not forget to mention the help in discovering and learning more understanding on birthing your child without intervention. This was also a huge one for me as I was desiring to have natural births.

I always thought breastfeeding just comes naturally. But then it didn’t due to complications after the birth. The Thompson Method helped me through my darkest hours of total desperation and cluelessness and guided me with the natural and instinct driven approach that I had so craved for my baby and myself. In the end I enjoyed 2 years of breastfeeding baby no1 and currently breastfeeding baby no2 for 19 months and counting.
This was some of the best money ever spent. Thank you!

The Thompson Method has helped me to understand the many aspects to breastfeeding and its benefits. I’d be pretty lost and sore without the information and help from the Thompson Method.

I signed up for the Thompson method in desperation to find some help when I was breast-feeding my daughter when she was a few months old. I had gone to two lactation consultants and still felt pretty hopeless. Through this method, I learned the way to breast-feed my daughter and hold her which made everything so much easier. I’m forever grateful for Dr. Thompson teaching me the position to keep my daughter in for the best results and comfort for both of us.

The Thompson Method guides were some of the most helpful and informative resources I found during my pregnancy and breastfeeding journey. The support from the TTM coaches was amazing, so kind, reassuring, and exactly what I needed when I was struggling with fast flow. I’m so grateful for their guidance!

Reply from The Thompson Method Breastfeeding
My experience was so much better the second time around since I completed the courses. Despite his lip tie my son gained weight quickly and the pain was little to none at the very beginning. I cannot express how much more positive and enjoyable my breastfeeding journey is because of this method. Thank you greatly.

This approach was a saviour. So helpful and genuine- the experience and knowledge evident. Got me through latching issues, refusal, multiple mastitis episodes. It was also more in-line with my instinct than I felt the hospital guidance was. Everyone’s journey is unique and this recognised that. It was so helpful and I’m happy to leave this review! Thank you TMB

This course and rescue session saved me and my second baby. Had an awful experience with my first and never thought I would succeed next time but still going at 14 months. Highly recommend for all pregnant mums.

Loved the program and learned actionable info that I could apply right away. Thank you!

I was having trouble breast feeding with incredible pain. Lactation consultants at hospital and with doctor weren’t helping. I was about to give up, then a friend recommended The Thompson Method and everything changed. Breastfeeding stopped being painful and I nursed for a full 1.5 yrs, when my baby self weaned to start solids. So very grateful.

It was impossible to get anyone on a video chat like the program said I’d have access to. The only people I was able to chat with just gave the same generic answers with any question I had. The program caused me SO much nipple pain and trauma I got
Mastitis very quickly. I asked for a refund and was denied with no further help

I wasn’t able to breastfeed my first 2 babies due to “supply issues” and I was devastated. At the time I wasn’t very educated and went through traumatic births. When I was pregnant with my 3rd I was determined to educate myself on birthing and breastfeeding to give myself and my babies our best chance. I found the Thompson Method 2 weeks before my delivery date and it was a game changer! I even went 2 weeks past my due date and the Thompson Method even gave my the confidence I needed through that process. I ran into some trials the first few weeks but Dr Robyn had resources for all of my questions and concerns! My baby just turned 1 and we’ve been successfully breastfeeding the full year without any formula or supplementing! It’s been a dream come true. Thank you so much for all of your help! This is the best pregnancy and breastfeeding resource I have ever experienced!

Reply from The Thompson Method Breastfeeding
I appreciated the gentle approach and being educated before I had a baby on how to best support my breast-feeding journey. I had a lot of fear that it may not work and this course provided the solutions I potentially was going to face! I have now successfully breast-fed three children past the year mark!!!
