Most mothers stop breastfeeding before they want to.
That's because many of them are discharged from hospital having been taught forceful techniques and breastfeeding "education" that's out-of-date and inconsistent.
Evidence shows these methods can lead to painful nipple trauma and other complications that derail a woman's determination to breastfeed.
The Thompson Method can work for every mother and baby.
Real Results,
backed by research.
The Thompson Method is a gentle, evidence based approach to breastfeeding now being tested by research at the Mater Mothers' Hospital (Brisbane Australia) and challenges commonly taught, forceful techniques."

As a lactation consultant, I have sat with countless mothers and babies struggling and in pain as they contort into unnatural positions to feed. Using the Thompson Method, I've seen these same mothers and babies relax and enjoy a feed for the first time. This is often accompanied by an exclamation of "why wasn't I shown this before?"
I share their frustration. It's time we used this as a first approach to avoid many complications and tears.

Learn more than technique.
The Thompson Method is an evidence-based approach to breastfeeding, grounded in an anatomical understanding of the breastfeeding mother and her baby.
But it's about more than technique. It's about belief.

Implementing The Thompson Method into my practice has been invaluable. Mothers report how comfortable it is [and they] learn to be more tuned into their baby's feeding cues. Milk transfer is optimal.
As the Thompson Method encourages hands-off assistance, this leads to the mum being empowered and confident in her ability and this has been a pleasure to witness.
