The Thompson Method

What is The Thompson Method?

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.

★ We believe every baby should be born in their own time, not at the convenience of hospital policy, which places both women and health professionals under pressure and can derail breastfeeding.

★ We believe forceful breastfeeding techniques should be avoided at all costs. Rather, a woman should be encouraged to trust that she and her baby innately know what to do.

★ We believe a woman should be respected for her strength to give birth to her baby, with the full support of how incredible both she and her baby are.
