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 volume
▶ Reflux and colic
▶ Breast engorgement
▶ Mastitis
▶ Fast flow
When it comes to breastfeeding, many women don't know what they don't know.
With proactive education and support from The Thompson Method Beautiful Breastfeeding Program, you will:
✔Feel in control of your labour, birth, and breastfeeding journey, even in the event of a planned or emergency C-section.
✔Rely on your own maternal instincts and trust yourself, your body, and your baby.
✔Know that your partner is prepared to support your breastfeeding goals from the start.
✔Understand the instinctive approach to breastfeeding and allow your baby to latch comfortably.
✔Establish and maintain your breast milk supply so you can provide the best possible nutrition for your baby, for as long as you choose.
✔Maximize your chances of being able to breastfeed without complications, even if you can't begin immediately after birth.
The best time to focus on breastfeeding is before your baby arrives.
Three good reasons to skip past "wait and see"...
▶ Postpartum can be overwhelming.
Adding a tiny one to your life is a big transition! You'll be navigating new norms and learning so much on the fly. By learning to breastfeed now, you'll be able to enjoy the journey instead of worrying about it.
▶ You'll soon have less free time.
It's no secret that newborns require time and energy—all of which are in short supply in those early days and weeks. Use the "extra" time you have now to grow your knowledge and confidence.
▶ Early complications can derail breastfeeding.
Mothers who experience complications in the early hours and days of breastfeeding are more likely to give up before they want to. With advanced preparation, you're less likely to experience those complications.
