Why do so many women struggle with Breastfeeding Pain?

If you've experienced excruciating breastfeeding pain including grazed, cracked or bleeding ni***es, you'd probably give anything to find out why it's happening and more importantly what you can do to change things 🔁

Inconsistent, conflicting information and forceful breastfeeding techniques being taught in the hospital system often result in breastfeeding pain for many first time and experienced mums. Women are often told they need to "do better" by the hospital system, leaving them feeling like a failure who can’t provide the nourishment her baby needs 🤱

No woman should ever have to feel like this ❌

As a Thompson Method Breastfeeding Practitioner, I’m here to support you reach your breastfeeding goals 🌟

I'll never get tired of helping mothers reach their breastfeeding goals. It's feedback like this that keeps me going 😍

"Shannon was an absolute lifesaver when I began my second breastfeeding journey. Using the Thompson Method, Shannon guided me through positioning, fine tuning and cradling when latching. Those first few weeks were tough, however Shannon coached me through in a kind, gentle and informative manner. I now feel informed and confident when breastfeeding. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!" ~ Bec

I recently returned to full-time nursing work, so my days look a little different now.

I’m still here, using my evenings to do the necessary admin and keeping my social media up to date. Whenever someone reaches out for breastfeeding education or support, we find an afternoon or weekend time that suits us both. It has been working beautifully so far and I’m so happy to continue providing this service to women needing support 🤱🩷

For women planning, expecting a child or experiencing any challenges with breastfeeding, there are a few GENTLE steps you can take to reduce the risk of ni**le pain and damage 🤱

With The Thompson Method, you’ll discover new, evidence based information that will guide you towards breastfeeding your baby without pain 💯

It was created by Dr Robyn Thompson, after spending 1000’s of hours helping 1000’s of mothers overcome painful breastfeeding complications.

So many women are being discharged from the hospital system with painful ni**le trauma.

👉🏻 So Dr Robyn spent years researching why this was the case, and why women who gave birth at home did not seem to be experiencing the same type of ni**le damage.

This led to Dr Robyn being awarded a PhD, but it didn't stop there

She has combined her years of research with 50 years of midwifery experience so that expecting mothers can avoid the common breastfeeding issues 💯

I found the Thompson Method when I was pregnant and I did as much of the course as I could before my baby arrived 🤰

While I did experience some breastfeeding complications, I managed to avoid ni**le pain and trauma for the entire 2 years that I breastfed.

I truly believe that is due to my preparation with the thompson Method and having an understanding of breastfeeding before I gave birth. I was also extremely fortunate to have supportive midwives in the hospital and a baby who breastfed instinctively ✨

I know that this isn’t the case for all women, and that’s why I chose to become a Breastfeeding Practitioner and birth doula. Women deserve to labour, birth, feed and parent in a way that suits them best. The best thing we can do as health professionals and birth workers is support their unique journey.

I've been a little busy lately!

So much has happened over the past few months and time has flown by... I recently started a new nursing job in Brisbane, but I still have the capacity to support women in their breastfeeding journey 🤱

One of my favourite things about home visits besides the beautiful babies and amazing mothers, is the puppy dogs. I have two very snuggly dogs, and I love getting to meet the fluffy members of the family.

This is Vinn and Milford 🐶🐶 They are great company and loves short walks and cuddles ❤

Your journey is as unique as you and your baby 🤱

So often, we get well meaning advice from those close around us. While we know that it may be with the best intentions, sometimes it just doesn’t resonate. And what worked for them, may not be what works for you and your baby.

My role as a Breastfeeding Practitioner is to support you through your unique journey, to achieve your goals in a way that works for you ✨

This is the face of someone who has supported two mums in their early days of breastfeeding 🤱

I spend my whole drive home with a big smile on my face that I couldn’t wipe off if I tried!

I love everything about the connections that I build with women and I remember how important they were for me in my own post partum journey ❤️

Did you do everything to prepare for breastfeeding, but challenges still arose?

You’re absolutely normal 🥰

We can do our very best, with the best intentions, and still be faced with unexpected challenges.

But you don't need to overcome these challenges alone.
