The Breastfeeding Academy
Dr Robyn Thompson Spent 25 Years Asking One Question
"Why were so many women experiencing painful breastfeeding complications on discharge from hospital, while the women who gave birth at home were not?" Her PhD answered it. What she found is now used by practitioners in 4 countries.
Learn MoreDr Robyn Thompson spent 25 years as a hospital midwife and a further 25 years as a homebirth midwife.

She was awarded a PhD for her research into why this was happening. Dr Robyn spent her career creating a gentle, evidence based method that fills that gap. And now it is yours.
