WHAT ARE THE 3 GOLDEN HOURS? 

The "3 Golden Hours" refer to the immediate hours after a mother gives birth. It’s so important that mothers are given the opportunity to be skin-to-skin with their babies during these 3 hours to breastfeed them and form that immediate bond.

QUESTION: So why does the hospital system often interrupt a mother and those 3 important hours with her newborn?

ANSWER: At the end of the day, hospitals are businesses, and they want you in and out as quickly as possible. Hospital routine procedures like weighing, bathing, and injections, which don’t need to be done immediately after birth, unnecessarily disrupt these 3 precious hours. #Shorts

KELLY'S BREASTFEEDING STORY |  BREASTFEEDING EXPERIENCES

Okay, ladies, I am writing this post as I sit and reflect on the journey that I started back in June with Dr. Robyn Thompson and the team, and I hope that if there is anybody who is pregnant and contemplating doing The Thompson Method breastfeeding program, or is struggling with breastfeeding and considering doing rescue with Robyn, my story might help them to take the plunge and give the Thompson Method a go.

My 6th baby, Jacob, came literally "flying" into the world back in May. After successfully breastfeeding my previous five children, I assumed I knew pretty much everything.

My problem began while I was still in the hospital ( I didn't realize it at the time): from not getting the three golden hours to being rushed to get showered and moved to another ward.

My nipples were pretty much damaged before I left the hospital after only 24 hours.

When I returned home, things quickly worsened. Jacob went from latching in 1 to 2 hours to completely refusing to latch. He'd scream the entire time, and I'd cry silently beside him, thinking that I was the worst mother.

It was Saturday midnight, and I was lying on the sofa, googling breastfeeding problems and solutions, and trawling through Facebook for more answers and help. Then this ad came through on my Facebook feed: "The Thompson Method." I quickly started to scroll through the page and then onto Dr. Robyns' website.

I thought to myself, OK, try one more thing, so I sent an SOS email, never thinking in a million years I would get a reply. By 9 am Sunday morning, I had a reply from the marvelous Marie, and by 11 am, the fabulous Joanne had me on a breastfeeding rescue FaceTime with the amazing Robyn. 

I had cracked bleeding nipples, I was engorged, and I wasn't feeling well mentally. Worse of all, Jacob was gaining no weight.

Before I even started a conversation with Dr. Robyn, I knew that we were going to be OK, just from her introduction to what we would be doing and how we were going to achieve what I wanted. I cried and cried. I had found what I had been looking for.

I instantly felt heard, loved, supported, not judged, and I knew we were in safe hands. To read Kelly's full story, click this link: https://www.thethompsonmethod.com/blog/the-thompson-method-reviews
