What mothers have to say about The Thompson Method,
the foundation of Beautiful Breastfeeding...
I am so excited to get to have Jill along with me through my pregnancy journey and through labor! I started with the Beautiful Breastfeeding Program in the middle of my pregnancy along with the prenatal classes! The information that she gave me along with the content from the program have helped me feel better about starting my breastfeeding journey! I know that when/ if there are obstacles, she will be there to help support me and my husband as we begin our journey through parenthood!-Katherine
I have been supported by Jill with breastfeeding through the last almost 3 years!! She helped me successfully nurse my 2 year old from birth -9 months and helped prepare me for the birth of my third child in January 2023. She is kind and attentive and she knows how to be gentle with information needed for success. I fully recommend her to anyone who wants to get breastfeeding off to a great start.-Adrianne
Jill is so amazing to work with. Through the beautiful breastfeeding program Jill helped be prepare while I was pregnant (I was determined to have a better experience after the unsuccessful experience I had with my first 6 years ago). Jill is so kind, gentle, supportive and encouraging. She gave me hope, guided me, and I have been successfully breastfeeding my daughter for 3 months now. I can never thank Jill enough. I completely recommend her to anyone hoping to breastfeed. It’s an amazing experience (there are challenges, but when you have support and solutions you can do it!) Thank you Jill!-Misty

Postpartum can be overwhelming.
- Adding a tiny one to your life is a big transition! You'll be navigating new normals and learning so much on the fly. By learning to breastfeed now, you'll be able to enjoy the journey instead of worrying through 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 advance preparation, you're less likely to experience those complications.
Free breastfeeding and doula classes might seem like a good idea, but investing in the services of a Certified Thompson Method Breastfeeding Educator and Doula can provide invaluable help. With extensive experience, personalized attention, support before and after your baby is born, expert assistance, and a caring community, investing in these services means making an investment in the health and well-being of both mother and baby.
