The Thompson Method

A gentle and evidence based method of breastfeeding


Dr Robyn Thompson is a midwife with over 45 years experience. She was awarded her PhD for research into why so many women were being discharged from hospital with painful nipple trauma and other breastfeeding complications including engorgement and mastitis. She created the Thompson Method, a gentle and evidence based method towards a gentle birth and pain-free breastfeeding experience to help women achieve their breastfeeding goals.

Dr Robyn has recently been awarded the Order of Australia Medal for her outstanding contributions to pregnant women, mothers and their babies, and breastfeeding education.

The Thompson Method is for ALL women who want to breastfeed, especially those who give birth in the hospital system.

If you want to breastfeed your baby and avoid painful complications, low milk supply, colic, reflux and an unsettled baby, the Thompson Method is for you. If you feel anxious about breastfeeding because of your anatomy (large breasts, flat/inverted/small nipple), or your baby's anatomy (tongue tie), the Thompson Method will help you reduce that fear and increase your confidence to uncover your full potential to breastfeed your baby.

How can the Thompson Method help you?

Empower You With Knowledge

This method is more than just a technique to get a good latch, it is about understanding the physiology of breast milk production, being empowered to feel in control of your labour, birth and breastfeeding experience, to have the knowledge of how the introduction of nipple shields, teats, bottles, and dummies can impact your breastfeeding journey, and so much more.

Help You Avoid Painful Complications

The aim of the Thompson Method is to challenge the forceful breastfeeding techniques taught to women in hospitals and avoid painful nipple trauma and other breastfeeding complications associated with those techniques.
