TTM Success Story! I went into my first breastfeeding experience pretty uninformed, and I regretted it. My daughter was born preterm and spent time in the NICU. I blindly followed what the well-meaning staff/doctors/lactation consultants recommended for bottle feeding and pumping. I was never able to establish a good latch and exclusively pumped for 8 months. It was brutal and stressful. During my second pregnancy my priority was to be armed with as much breastfeeding knowledge as possible. I found the the Thompson Method and I credit it with all of my success this time around. The combination of Dr. Thompson's research-based information and encouragement to trust my instincts was exactly what I needed. With all the conflicting breqatfeeding info out there, with TTM, I knew what was important and what not to worry about. While I experienced challenges in the first 2 days, I sought advice from the admin and persevered. I was able to recognize the ridiculousness of the pediatrician recommending formula/bottle feeding for my 1 day old, and follow my instincts to continue exclusively breastfeeding in those early days. I was able to successfully introduce bottles at 6 weeks to prepare for my return to work. I just celebrated my daughter's first birthday and we are still going strong. I recommend this program to every pregnant mama I encounter.
