Chances are, you were shown a variety of different techniques by different people. It’s one of the most common frustrations we hear from women after being discharged from hospital!

And with the rush to get you discharged, these techniques often include forcing your baby to the breast, just to get you "breastfeeding" before you go home.

That often causes painful nipple trauma, which makes women hesitant to breastfeed, which contributes to volume concerns, and more.

Breastfeeding Rescue can help you overcome all of that.

We allow approximately 90 mins for your initial consultation.  This provides time for you to talk with your practitioner, and ideally time for your practitioner to observe a full breastfeed.

The information shared in this program 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 taught in most hospitals. It's gentle and encourages women to be strong and trust their maternal instincts. 

We have an immense amount of respect for the professionals working within the hospital system. However, it’s important to acknowledge that hospital policies aren’t necessarily in the best interests of the breastfeeding mother and her baby, placing the professionals under pressure to conform to unrealistic time constraints.  

By adopting The Thompson Method, you are more likely to experience a positive breastfeeding outcome.
But it’s not just the method; it’s the belief behind The Thompson Method. A belief that every woman and her baby is unique. It’s knowledge of how breast milk is produced that empowers the woman to know what to do and trust that her baby innately knows what to do, too. It’s having respect for the strength of one woman to give birth to her baby, with full support of how incredible both she and her baby are.

Your Breastfeeding Practitioner will meet with you via Telehealth. Please refer to your confirmation email for the link to join the video call.  If you plan to do your consultation on a mobile device, it's best to have someone with you who can hold your phone.

Most likely! We can't offer a 100% guarantee for a perfect outcome, but we do promise to do everything we can in service to your and your baby's well-being.

If you find that you need another session with your practitioner, just let us know and we'll send you a link to book and schedule one.  Follow up sessions are 45 mins and can be purchased as required.  Not all women will require one.  It really depends on your unique situation.

The Thompson Method can be effective for every kind of mother and baby—mothers breastfeeding for the first time or the last; mothers who’ve had breast surgery or who’ve been told they have insufficient glandular tissue, hyperplasia, or tubular breasts; mothers with large breasts or flat or inverted nipples; twins; C-section; NICU babies; and babies with tongue- or lip-tie concerns.

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 to do so for as long as they wish.
