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

The resources available via the Thompson Method were invaluable to me with my baby. If it wasn't for this approach I would probably have given up but one 11 months on and we're still going strong.
Sometimes the course is hard to navigate but the information is all there if you look for it.
The community Facebook group has also been a lifesaver knowing that there were people struggling with the same thing and being supported by the team and each other.

Honestly, I don’t know what I would have done with out this program while breastfeeding.
I still remember all those nights, watching those videos and I would ALWAYS find a solution from them. I always wanted to breastfeed and I’m so glad that it’s been 9 months and we are still going strong ❤️

After a terrible,painful and short bf experience I was determined to have a better experience 2nd time round! While pregnant I found the Thompson Method and actually studied Thompson Method educator training while my son was a new born! Learning and putting it all into action! We are 17 months exclusively Breastfeeding. A complete turn around to my first experience. Baby and mum very happy and will continue to breastfeed as long as we do! If you pregnant or currently Breastfeeding do yourself and your baby a favour. Get support. The earlier the better! Education is key! The 1st 6 weeks is about learning and being supported not struggling and definitely wish I found the wonderful village of support with my first baby!

The Thompson Method has been the best breastfeeding program for us. Not only did it talk about how to breastfeed but many other areas in pregnancy and birth to prepare me for it. The support is amazing. My daughter and I had difficulty at the beginning due to a slight complication during birth which made the initial latching quite difficult, but I trusted that this method will work and followed the advise, and yes we made it successfully very quickly and we are still breastfeeding at 18MO.

It is amazing what a bit of guidance can do, and The Thompson Method gives you just that, it has helped me to approach my motherhood experience with a little more confidence. My baby is almost 8 months old and I am still breastfeeding, with no issues from day 1. Thank you! Xx

This program helped me be prepared for what I hoped to be an easy/natural birth yet had the potential to be dramatic. I was able to have the delivery I wanted because of the information and confidence Robin gave. She definitely deserves the high regard and honor her daughter gives her. I found her during covid times and after my mom had just died. It was exactly what I needed to persist and persevere for 6months to get my preemie baby to breast feed.
I have told all my friends or acquaintances about her program. I highly recommend it for Moms who want to he educated and be the defender of their unborn child.

A game changer for anybody struggling (or not struggling - there is always room for improvement!) with breastfeeding. The Thompson Method was recommended to me by a friend and I have in turn recommended it to others. Very grateful for the help it’s given me.

This program changed everything for me. With my first baby, we just couldn't get breastfeeding to work. It was really taxing on both of us as people tried to force it. For my second I was determined to do things differently. I researched and was so thankful I found Dr Robyn. I had so much confidence and knew to make sure the midwives and nurses were hands off. We managed to feed until he was just over 3!
The modules were clear and included information everyone should know. I was so grateful for the Facebook groups, who answered my questions no matter the time of day/night.

My experience with the Thompson Method Breastfeeding has been a wonderful experience as I was experiencing pain trauma during my couple weeks of my breastfeeding journey but after I joined The Thompson method breastfeeding. My pain was getting better.

Best breastfeeding course! I did the modules before my first babe, and felt so well prepared when he arrived. After having complications with his birth, our breastfeeding journey didn’t begin as I had hoped and planned for, but the course was an invaluable resource I’ve come back to as support and guidance navigating different challenges, from sore nipples (thanks to hospital staff) and having mastitis early on, plus slowed milk supply - this course has it all. Cannot recommend it enough! I found it was better than any lactation consultants and my midwife’s advice too. So grateful for this knowledge and it’s so easy to follow and come back to again and again.

I learnt heaps about breastfeeding, pregnancy, and for first 72 hours. I loved the Birth plan template which I used for my first born. Thanks for your efforts to educate and advocate.

As a midwife, Robyn's breastfeeding support is my first go to whenever a woman is struggling or has had a previous struggle with breast feedings. An introduction to Robyn's methods usually occurs in pregnancy so things can go smoothly once bub is born.

Reply from The Thompson Method Breastfeeding
I brought Dr Robyn's course not long after having my 1st baby. I was given no help with breastfeeding in hospital and just told to force my baby onto my breast, which ultimately led to nipple trauma.
After going through Dr Robyn's course, I successfully breastfed my baby until 14 months with no pain. I honestly think I would have given up because of the pain. Thanks to Dr Robyn I managed to continue!

Excellent quality program, without it, I wouldn't have advocated so strongly for the golden hours with my babies.
Thank you.

This program gave me a lot of insight as a first time BF mum. Im very grateful as without it i wouldn't have been able to start my journey

I stumbled across an ad of the Thomson breastfeeding method on instagram while pregnant. Thankfully I thought to give it a shot. It was the best value for money ever! Helped me so much understand about pregnancy and breastfeeding of course! I have breastfed my baby pain free for 10 months and still going.

As a second time mother at a later age, so many things had become a worry. Having struggled with breastfeeding first time around 10 years ago, I have resigned to just giving baby the bottle. This changed when I came across Dr Thompson 4 days before I was due for an elective. I then learnt very quickly where the advice was wrong from hospitals, midwives, community workers etc etc. Well meaning but incredibly damaging. This time around, I used Dr Thompson guide from preparing with what I could given my circumstances all the way to breast feeding successfully. My baby did lost weight initially, but come the second weight in she not only met her birth weight but exceeded it with exclusively being breast fed. Please don't hesitate to buy the programs, the investment in the knowledge and tackling every challenges related to caring for our baby is there week by week. Robyn Thompson to me is mother to all mothers!

A fantastic resource for mums throughout their breastfeeding journey.

Successfully breast fed my two daughters, 2.5 years apart, with the knowledge I learned from the course and the amazing amazing support from this team xx I loved the access to extensive “troubleshooting” when I came across issues, and the video consult rescued my breastfeeding. Can’t thank Dr Robyn Thomas and her team enough, so grateful xx

Amazing and deeply rewarding!
I was quite apprehensive to purchase the program as its all online, but its so benificial! I learned so much from it and can keep going back again and again for fine tuning. I will be using this method with all of my future babies too. Its so much softer, kinder and more bonding for mum and bub this way (not aggressive and a little harsh like they teach you in hospital). I had sore nipples the first week after being taught differently in the hospital and as soon as i changed back to the TBM it was like night and day!! No sore nipples or pain!!!
