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...

“I am a mom of 4. I have breastfed all my kids. With my 4th baby I encountered problems I never had before. He was not latching correctly. He wasn't eating very much. He seemed frustrated with me. I was in major pain. My nipples were cracking. I requested assistance at the hospital but it was not helpful. I looked into lactation consultants but they couldn't help me either. I was skeptical about purchasing the Thompson Method since I wasn't finding help but I needed something. So I purchased it. From day 1 the program has been a Godsend!!! I was able to utilize the methods right away and get my baby to latch better. It was immediately more comfortable for the both of us. I was no longer in pain, and baby was eating more than he had been able to get before that. Also, I had never been a working Mom before and had no idea how to exclusively breastfeed while working with baby away at daycare. The Thompson Method taught me how to store a supply while still being able to feed baby full time. I now swear by the Thompson Method and I recommend it to every expecting Mom I come across. I am currently expecting baby #5 and I can't wait to use the program all over again.”

“This method is amazing! I started it when my son was 3 weeks old due to his reflux issues. It turns out everything the hospital told me to do was causing these issues. Within 2 weeks on the Thompson method my baby no longer had those issues. Any struggles that popped up along the way were resolved due to the wonderful staff and loads of knowledgeable information they provided. My son is a miracle baby so he is my one and only. I’m so entirely grateful that I was able to breastfeed my only baby for 16 1/2 months. If you’re looking for information, guidance, love and support then look no further than The Thompson Breastfeeding Method! Thank you to all who helped me achieve this wonderful journey with my baby boy!”

“My son is 3 months old, and I have been able to exclusively breast feed him with complete ease and virtually no pain, which I put down entirely to the Thompson Method. I watched the videos during my pregnancy as well as regularly reading the Facebook group which gave me the confidence and knowledge going into the hospital that I was able to breastfeed without issue from day 1. It also enabled me to feel confident about my decision to have a planned c-section, by understanding my options and the implications of them. I have already recommended this course to many friends and I will continue to do so! Thank you Dr Thompson and your team!”

“I would not hesitate to recommend the Thompson Method to every mum to be who wants to breastfeed. Dr Robyn and her amazing team and my UK trainer Susanna Jackson are all just brilliant. This is my second baby and 2nd time breastfeeding and it could not be more different breastfeeding experience to my first. My first son had weight gain issues and jaudice due to not being able to feed efficiently in the first few days, he then went on to have his tongue cut, was put on reflux medication and I was told to put him on formula so many times which I managed to resist out of pure determination but not at a cost to my own mental health and eventually did have to stop feeding and gave formula at 10 months due to have no supply left at all. With my second, my husband and I can't believe what a difference there is in our second son. He's so happy and content after every feed, he sleeping in between feeds (something my first son didnt do) and considering we have a 4 year old at home our energy levels are 100 x better than the first time round which means we can give both our boys the attention they need. This is all thanks to Dr Robyn, her method, her trainers and the support of the other members of the team. They are there for you 24/7 and there is this passion from everyone for you to succeed and have the best breast feeding experience possible. Buying the Thompson Method programme will be the best gift you can give yourself and your baby.”

“I am SO grateful for The Thompson Method. I purchased the course when I was 9 months pregnant, after every single one of my mama friends had struggled and eventually quit breastfeeding. I absolutely support the choice to feed your baby however it works best, but something in me knew that there had to be a different way. They didn’t have formula ages ago, after all, so what was making the difference? I am just 5 days postpartum with my little man, but our breastfeeding journey thus far has been so beautiful. He latches himself, we adore the rest and digest snuggles, and I am celebrating pain-free feeding and having helpful strategies to deal with a bit of engorgement as my milk was coming in. Everyone told me the beginning was really tough, so I am very grateful we’ve had such a positive experience. I cannot wait to share about your course with my other expecting mama friends. It’s been so worth having to fight off the lactation consultants who want us to cross-cradle! Thank you, Dr. Robyn and team, for helping empower mothers around the world. ❤️”

“I'm not the type to write reviews often, but I HAVE to thank Dr. Robyn and crew for developing and promoting the Thompson Method. I purchased the program around six months into my pregnancy after reading books on breastfeeding and still not feeling prepared. Our first little boy was born all natural in the hospital, but spent three days in the NICU due to low oxygen (from being in my birth canal a tad too long) where they formula fed him despite my wishes to give him colostrum or donor milk. He dropped weight because he was refusing formula half the time and I was sick and not allowed in the NICU to try to feed. When they finally let me into the NICU, they tried to teach the cradle method and told me I was feeding "incorrectly." BUT because of Dr. Robyn's videos on NICU babies and breastfeeding advice, now my baby will be a month old next week and he is back to beyond his birthweight and exclusively breastfeeding with me. No pain, no breast trauma, ALL the cuddles! If you are struggling with breastfeeding or pregnant and nervous about starting, I promise you can get through it thanks to Dr. Robyn and team.”

“The Thompson Method education and breastfeeding support is outstanding. Not only was there wonderful preparatory education, but the unlimited around the clock access to the private Facebook group, troubleshooting advice, and active responsiveness from Dr. Robyn’s team is so empowering. I was able to breastfeed for an entire year thanks to the unrelenting support this company provided, and they remained as hands on a year in as they were the day I first purchased it. I attribute my breastfeeding success to Dr. Robyn Thompson and the team.”

“The advice and videos seem to cover every eventuality and it's an extremely comprehensive resource, making it great value for money. This lovely, gentle, maternal choice focused and research based breast feeding method helped me get to my goal of one year of breastfeeding. The facebook group admins are extremely responsive. I couldn't recommend more highly.”

“100% worth the money! There are over 100 videos on here to watch which covers everything you need to know about breastfeeding and the help and support on the Facebook page is amazing too. I switched to formula with my first girl because she was dropping weight quickly. For my second girl I really wanted to be able to breastfeed so I purchased the course and now, almost 20 weeks in she is exclusively breastfed and no formula has touched her lips! Super proud of myself and so happy I bought this course to be able to do this. I’ve had a few questions along the way and the fantastic admin team have helped us out so quickly each time. The course also helped with writing my birth plan as well as my breastfeeding plan which completely changed my experience this time around in hospital. If you’re reading this and thinking about whether or not to choose this method - do it!! You wont regret it! Good luck and hopefully we will see you in our breastfeeding club ♥️”

“When we found out we were having our second baby it was extremely important to me that I try to successfully breastfeed this time around. I only made it 6 weeks with our son so when the Covid shut down began researching many methods surrounding breastfeeding and found The Thompson Method. I purchased the videos and access to the VIP Facebook page for under $100 and it was worth every single penny. Last week after exclusively nursing for 28 months our journey came to an end. An amazing journey it was. So many ups, a few downs but ultimately one of the most amazing and unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had. I will forever be great full to the Thompson method for everything I learned and my sweet baby girl for being patient and giving me the opportunity to do this with her. Pictured here was our last time nursing. I was a puddle and she was sad but after a week we are both transitioning very well. As a second time mom at 42 I am proud and grateful everyday for being able to give her the comfort and nutrition only breast milk can provide.”

“I just want to say a HUGE thank you to Kelly for helping me and my little premie baby Evelyn. Evie was 5 weeks early weighing 5lbs1 and was in NICU for 10 days and without the Thompson Method & Kelly I don’t think I’d be breast feeding today. Kelly Faytrouni, is an angel & helped me so much when we had our rescue - we just needed a little extra help and I cannot thank you enough. It is such a privilege & blessing to be able to be able to nourish my baby from the moment she arrived with all the cuddles, colostrum & milk. I truly believe she did so well in hospital because I was adamant I was going to breast feed her & the bond we have is more than I could have imagined. Her little face is just the best thing in the world when she looks up at me while we’re boobing and smiles. 🥹 I will always remember the early days & doing all I could, whilst being incredibly unwell and in hospital too to make sure she had enough colostrum & milk and was only able to do this because of the Thompson Method & Kelly. I Advocated hard for us to have skin to skin when she arrived for as long as possible and even though it has been so difficult at times it has also been the most empowering thing I’ve ever done. It has been tricky but so worth it. Without Kelly & The Thompson method and the knowledge I’ve learnt I would have probably given up in the early days. My little one is a sensitive creature and the method is so gentle and baby led and I love this about the Thompson Method and how Kelly helped us. My heart feels so full writing this message. Words can’t describe how grateful I am for the support of the groups, the method & Kelly. What an amazing thing being a mummy is and being able to feed our babies. Thank you isn’t enough to describe my gratitude. Sending love & so much thanks, Emily & Evelyn ♥️”

“I made it to one year breastfeeding my son and I could not have done it without the Thompson Method. I had virtual sessions with Rachael in the first few weeks when I was having challenges. I was able to overcoming pain and I found out my supplements were causing my son to protest before feeds. I just wish more consultants were trained in the method so that breastfeeding will be an easier journey for all women”

“Would I recommend? Heck yes! It's this course worth the money? Absolutely! Baby girl is just over a week old at this point and this is what I have to share about the program... A big thank you to the Thompson method! I came across this program during my pregnancy and chose to invest about 2 months before my due date. The education from this course has been phenomenal. What I've appreciated most so far is that when watching videos of Dr. Robyn, she speaks as though talking to you as a friend instead of as a student, which makes the videos so much more enjoyable to watch/listen to, instead of them feeling like a grueling study. We had a natural birth and I felt confident to be able to slow things down when necessary throughout our stay at the hospital and ask questions, largely in part due to this course. I even had my general practice Dr. (who did my baby's post hospital follow-up) comment that I seemed to really know what I was talking about for being a first time mom! I look forward to a day when the Thompson method will be the main method taught to women, because even with my denying lactation consultation in the hospital, I had 3 different staff present each at a separate time when I started to nurse, that each made moves to put their hands in to push my baby onto my breast (which luckily I was able to stop before it happened). Also, since being home, I have loved being a part of this FB group, because it helps me continue to educate myself on things that I might have missed or forgotten from the education videos, and highlights things that I could tweak to make our BF journey even better! It definitely supports me being able to use my instincts 😄 So thank you thank you! I have already recommended this course to many! Baby Brooklyn and I are off to a wonderful start of our BF journey, with the confidence of knowing there's a whole admin team out there to help any time I feel lost or overwhelmed 🥰”

“I tried to nurse my first baby for 5 weeks, triple feeding that whole time and then eventually exclusively pumping and bottle feeding him for the rest do his first 8 months. I was so disappointed and sad that nursing didn’t work out. With my second baby, I knew I wanted to try to nurse again but needed help to make sure that happened. I purchased The Thompson Method course during my third trimester of my second pregnancy and started watching the videos before my son arrived. We still had some struggles but got off to a much better start, and this baby has ended up nursing for a whole year now! I think one of the things that made us successful this time was protecting the first three hours after birth (and really the first several weeks) for skin-to-skin and practice nursing time. I’m so grateful for this course!”
