Thank you dr Robyn. You helped me so much. With my first baby I guarded my uninterrupted time after he was born and to all attempts of the nurse to "help me" by touching me&my baby I said NO. Babies know themselves what to do. They don't need nobody to tell them. And as you say, mother's gentle guidance is all that is required. Nobody's blue gloves are welcome on my body. Here 2 and half years later I still breastfeed my baby boy along with my year old baby girl. All the blessings to you dr Robyn&your team. Love y'all❤
Question - once I give birth should we immidetly move to triage as soon as possible to get three hours of uninterrupted time? Or stay in the birthing room for three hours with baby on my skin? Bc how am I supposed to get three hours when they want to get you out of the birthing room and into triage.
What if I have a planned scheduled C-section? Will this make it impossible for me to breastfeed my baby? Will my body not naturally going into labor on its own, delay my milk from coming in?
Thanks for your comment. In Dr Robyn's research, a delay or interruption to the first and early breastfeeds increases the likelihood of common breastfeeding complications such as nipple trauma, breast engorgement and mastitis. This is why she encourages women to avoid unnecessary intervention if at all possible. However, if you're already scheduled for a C-Section, it's important to understand that some of the key principles of The Thompson Method are based on regular and rhythmical hormone stimulation, around the clock. If you are separated from your baby, it is suggested that you simulate what your baby would be doing under normal circumstances. We have many women in our program who successfully breastfed after a C-Section and are still breastfeeding today.

i felt like a liability to the hospital from the moment i stepped in…. hospitals are still stupid regarding childbirth, they just need to stick to healing sick patients and leave the birthing process be unless a true life threatening situation arises.
How ti avoid wasting these 3 golden hours while having a c-section? And what about if I already have painful nipples from my previous breastfeeding of my previous baby? I tried yo treat it but still having unresolved pain ?!

No wonder I failed way back then. Never hear of this. Now I am 58. Sad.
