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, awarded a PhD for her research into why so many women were being discharged from hospital with painful nipple trauma and other breastfeeding complications.

The Thompson Method challenges the forceful 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 because it offers a gentle alternative to help women AVOID common breastfeeding complications.

But it’s more than just the technique on how to get a good latch.  It's that, but it’s so much more...

When you adopt The Thompson Method along with the thousands of women who’ve also embraced this method to give birth to and breastfeed their babies, you will reduce the risk of common breastfeeding complications.
