Frequently Asked Questions
One of the main benefits of choosing the Beautiful Breastfeeding Program is the personalised guidance from a Certified Thompson Method Professional. This person has extensive knowledge of The Thompson Method and has the expertise to guide you as you create your unique birth and breastfeeding plan.
This program is for women who want to breastfeed with breastfeeding being the core focus. It's likely that the ‘breastfeeding’ information shared in your antenatal class is different to what’s shared in our program.
According to Dr Robyn's research, the commonly taught forceful techniques are closely linked to painful nipple trauma. In fact, in her research of women experiencing nipple damage, 85% of them were using the most commonly taught technique, the cross-cradle technique.
This is the only program where you will learn The Thompson Method and it’s designed to help you fully prepare you for your breastfeeding journey, give you the tools to know how to best manage breastfeeding when you arrive home, provide you with information on how to quickly overcome pain if you start to feel it and much, much more.
Won’t the hospital show me how to breastfeed?
Yes. But chances are, you’ll be shown a variety of different techniques by different people. It’s one of the most common frustrations we hear from women after being discharged from hospital. And with the rush to get you discharged, these techniques often include forcing your baby to the breast, just to get you ‘breastfeeding’ before you go home.
This is why it’s so important that you are fully prepared and have enough confidence to make wise choices, and sometimes that includes saying ‘No thanks, I’ve got this’.
What’s so different about The Thompson Method?
The information shared in this program is by Dr Robyn Thompson a midwife with 50 years experience who was awarded a PhD for her research into why so many women were being discharged from hospital, experiencing painful nipple trauma.
The Thompson Method challenges the commonly taught, forceful techniques that are taught in most hospitals. It is a lot more gentle and encourages women to be strong and trust their maternal instincts.
By adopting The Thompson Method you are more likely to experience a positive breastfeeding outcome
.But it’s not just the method; it’s the belief behind The Thompson Method. A belief that every woman and her baby is unique. It’s a belief that every baby will be born in its own time; not at the convenience of hospital policy. It’s an understanding of the importance of the first breastfeed and that routine procedures should not interrupt or delay this precious time between a mother and her baby. It’s knowledge of how breast milk is produced that empowers the woman to know what to do and trust that her baby innately knows what to do. It’s having respect for the strength of one woman to give birth to her baby, with full support of how incredible both she and her baby are.
The aim of The Thompson Method is to share factual information with a woman in pregnancy so that she can be more empowered and confident when giving birth in hospital and so that she can get her breastfeeding journey off to a positive start.
The Thompson Method can work for any woman and her baby, however it’s important to acknowledge that every woman and every baby are unique. It’s not a one size fits all approach.
The principles are based on the anatomy of the breastfeeding baby (Dr Robyn’s PhD research) to help women reduce the risk of painful complications, which also helps women establish and maintain their milk supply.
If you have flat nipples, large breasts, small nipples, even if your baby has a tongue tie, the Thompson Method can work. Of course, there are exceptions depending on your unique circumstances and we cannot provide a 100% guarantee of breastfeeding success. If you’re not sure, or if you’re already struggling with breastfeeding and would like some 1:1 help, click here to send us an email and our team will point you in the right direction.
The sooner the better. Simple as that. Why would you wait? The longer you have access to this education, the better prepared you’ll be and the better you’ll understand how everything works.
Our suggestion is to get the education now, while you’re motivated to learn and while you have the time to absorb it all. Always remember, you have access to the program videos and the support community for LIFE.
Every woman is unique. Every baby is unique. Every breastfeeding journey is unique. Some women have given birth to several babies before discovering The Thompson Method. For many women, the problem lies with so much inconsistent and conflicting information. Combine that with a hospital system that’s rushing women through and putting so much pressure on women who want to breastfeed, it’s no wonder why so many women have experienced painful complications. Our aim is to change that one woman and baby at a time, through education and support.
