As many as 80% of mothers stop breastfeeding before they want to.

That's because, for many women, breastfeeding starts off tough and only gets tougher: nipple pain, low milk supply, reflux and colic, breast engorgement, mastitis, and fast flow.

The Thompson Method is a gentle, natural approach that helps prevent or overcome common breastfeeding complications.

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

Postpartum can be overwhelming.

Adding a tiny one to your life is a big transition! 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.

Newborns require time and energy — all in short supply. Use the extra time you have now to grow your knowledge and confidence.

Early complications can derail breastfeeding.

Mothers who experience complications early on are more likely to give up. With advance preparation, you're less likely to experience those complications.

Trusted by Thousands of Families

Nicole - First Time Mom

"I bought this program before we were even pregnant, as preparation for breastfeeding. Little did I realise that the course is actually an entire suite of prenatal and birth classes. It empowered me to know what to expect during the last trimester, labour, birth, straight after birth, coming home and feeding the baby at different ages. Cannot recommend more."

Kiri B - First Time Mom

"After searching for breastfeeding help I had come across many that lacked substance and cost the earth. I almost didn't bother looking into the Thompson Method course as it seemed too cheap. But I'm so glad I did. If I could, I would do whatever I could to assure every mumma that they would get amazing benefit from the Thompson Method. It's the best thing I did."

Mons — 5 Stars

"The Thompson Method genuinely changed my and my baby's life. Every mom should be guided by Dr Robyn and her team! I've been successfully breastfeeding for 9 months now and I am still 100% in love with it."

Kristen — 5 Stars

"Thanks to the Thompson Method we have made it to 3 months of exclusively breastfeeding. I know if I had only gone by what the nurses were telling me in the hospital we would not be here today."

Tesia — 5 Stars

"My baby had no problems latching. The nurses kept sending in other nurses to see the baby with the 'perfect latch'. She gained back more than her birthweight by 1 week, and I owe all of it to the Thompson Method."

With over 50 years as a Registered Midwife and Registered Nurse, Dr Robyn Thompson has worked across both hospital and homebirth settings. She completed the world's first PhD specifically focused on nipple trauma — a seven-year doctoral research journey. Her research confirmed that generation after generation of women were struggling with the same preventable complications — not because breastfeeding is inherently difficult, but because mothers were never given the right information at the right time.

Common Questions

When should I start the breastfeeding course?
The sooner the better. The longer you have access to this education, the better prepared you'll be. With lifetime access to the program and the Breastfeeding Club support, if you could avoid or reduce your risk of experiencing nipple trauma, low milk supply, mastitis — why wouldn't you?
What's so different about The Thompson Method?
The information is by Dr Robyn Thompson, a midwife with 50+ years of experience and the world's first PhD in nipple trauma. The Thompson Method challenges the commonly taught, forceful techniques in most hospitals. It's gentle and encourages women to trust their maternal instincts.
This isn't my first baby. Is this program for me?
Absolutely! Whether you're a first-time mother or you've been through it before, The Thompson Method will guide you step-by-step to avoid common breastfeeding complications — even if you've experienced them in the past.
What are the 3 Golden Hours?
The 3 Golden Hours refer to the immediate hours after giving birth. You'll learn how to self-advocate for skin-to-skin contact, which allows you to breastfeed and form an immediate bond. You'll also learn what to do if you don't get your 3 Golden Hours.
How do I access the program?
The Thompson Method is hosted on an online learning platform accessible from any internet-enabled device — mobile, desktop, laptop, iPad or other tablet.
How long does the program take?
The course is divided into short lessons so you can go at your own pace. You'll have access to approximately 20 hours of video content.
How long do I have access to the program?
Your purchase includes lifetime access to the program and the support group, so you can revisit the program as your family grows.
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 — one of the most common frustrations we hear. With the rush to discharge, these techniques often include forcing your baby to the breast. That's why it's important to be fully prepared.
Are you anti-formula?
Absolutely not. Every woman and her baby is unique, and we support a woman's decision to feed her baby how she chooses. Our only motivation is to ensure women who want to breastfeed have the education and support they need.

We're here to support you every step of the way.
