Is a Certified Coach for YOU?

Having a breastfeeding coach is not for everyone.   But having a breastfeeding coach who is certified in The Thompson Method to help you prepare, is for you if:

  • You are a first-time mother-to-be feeling a bit overwhelmed
  • You have struggled with breastfeeding in the past
  • Your estimated due date is approaching quickly and you need to get prepared fast!
  • You simply like the thought of someone walking this path with you.

You don't have to figure out breastfeeding
alone.

 

Breastfeeding complications are common, and trying to sort out sound guidance from misguided opinions can be tricky.

If you're in your 2nd or 3rd Trimester, a Thompson Method certified guide (that is, an Educator or Practitioner), will provide you and your partner with face-to-face classes (online or in-person) and personalised guidance as you prepare for your birth and breastfeeding journey.

"Mother and baby share a special moment during breastfeeding - 5 star review"
★★★★★

I had my baby boy on Monday via an emergency c-section. The midwives on the ward are amazed this is my first baby and we are feeding so well. 
I know that without your research and the course, it would be a whole different story! I feel confident with my breastfeeding journey and appreciate the support you continue to provide in the private group.

- Amanda J.

"Beautiful bonding between mother and baby during breastfeeding - 5 star review"
★★★★★

I actually WANT to breastfeed my baby after birth. She’s a little over 24hrs old, and our breastfeeding journey is already 1,000x better than my last four.
By this time I usually had cracked and bleeding nipples, but thanks to The Thompson Method, it is painless and inviting. Things are going amazingly and she latches like a champion all on her own.

- Natalie W.

Happy baby thriving on mother's milk - 5 star review for breastfeeding experience
★★★★★

It's so scary to be a first time mom,. You have to worry about pregnancy, labor, delivery and everything else that comes after that. But having the knowledge from the Thompson Method has made my breastfeeding journey amazing!
I am now 4 months [exclusively breastfeeding] and breastfeeding has been by far the most enjoyable part of being a mom.

- Stacey

The best time to focus on breastfeeding is before your baby arrives.


Remember, having a breastfeeding preparation "coach"
...is not for everyone.

This program is specifically designed for those who know they want
or need a higher level of personalized support and attention.

Early complications can derail breastfeeding.

Mothers who experience complications in the early hours and days of
breastfeeding are more likely to give up before they want to.
With the Beautiful Breastfeeding Coaching program,
you're less likely to experience those complications, and have faster access
to expert support if you need it.

The best time to focus on breastfeeding is before your baby arrives.


Three good reasons to skip past "wait and see"...

Postpartum can be overwhelming.

Adding a tiny one to your life is a big transition! You'll be navigating new normals and learning so much on the fly. By learning to breastfeed now, you'll be able to enjoy the journey instead of worrying through it.

You'll soon have less free time.

It's no secret that newborns require time and energy—all of which are in short supply in those early days and weeks. Use the "extra" time you have now to grow your knowledge and confidence.

Early complications can derail breastfeeding.

Mothers who experience complications in the early hours and days of breastfeeding are more likely to give up before they want to. With advance preparation, you're less likely to experience those complications.
