Sharing my success story with The Thompson Method! I found The Thompson method in my first week with my baby, Brielle. I had taken a breastfeeding class prior to her birth and was taught the cross cradle, football hold etc to breastfeed. When Brielle was born at the hospital, the nurses were teaching the same things, and would force Brielle to the breast to eat. It was uncomfortable for both of us and I went home with hope as it is a new learning process. Within the first week, it was not going well and we had to start bottle feeding right away as she was not eating. Triple feeding took a toll on me, and I was exhausted with little sleep. I researched other resources around me for help but I was getting the same things everywhere and I needed something new. I invested in The Thompson Method program and opted to do the Rescue program as I needed some 1:1 advice. I was paired with Sarah and she was kind, gentle and understanding with my struggles. She gave me a few options to try and I opted to go via the route of a nipple shield so that I could stop triple feeding right away and get sleep. I was able to breastfeed via the nipple shield and would remove the nipple shield once in a while to see if Brie would latch directly on the breast. During the 2nd week of December, I put Brie to the breast without a nipple shield just before bedtime, and she had latched. It was painful but I was happy that she fed without the nipple shield. I started refreshing myself with all the tips on fine tuning to make future feeds more comfortable for us. Brie is now 3 months and breastfeeding beautifully. She is occasionally bottle fed by dad, but has no issues being fed either way. The team at The Thompson Method are so supportive and they provide timely and helpful advice, videos from Dr. Robyn and the community that they have built is incredible. I hope that this because the new way to teach all new moms to breastfeed! I’m so grateful for this program! 🌸🌸🌸
