Jack slept through the night from 10weeks up to this day, keeping the same routine and being a team with mom and dad. 🥰 Keeping the strict routine works and ends up baby being happy and contented as he sleeps through.

Vale Dr Robyn Thompson (February 1944 - 2025)

With heavy hearts but a profound sense of love and gratitude, we announce the passing of Dr Robyn Thompson OAM, the beloved founder of The Thompson Method, who died on 21 January 2025, following complications from a stroke she experienced last year. She was 80 years old.

Dr Robyn's revolutionary gentle approach to supporting mothers and babies has touched hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide.

A fierce advocate for women's birthing and breastfeeding rights, she dedicated her life to empowering mothers to trust their instincts and recognise their innate wisdom. Her groundbreaking work earned her both a PhD and the Order of Australia Medal, but her greatest achievement was the community of supported, confident mothers she helped create.

Dr Robyn's legacy lives on through The Thompson Method, continuing to provide gentle, respectful support to mothers and babies around the world. Her message remains as powerful as ever: every woman and every baby is unique, and each mother already has everything she needs within her.

We invite you to join us in celebrating Dr Robyn’s remarkable life and continuing her mission of supporting and empowering mothers everywhere.

With gratitude,
Joanne (her daughter) and The Thompson Method Team 💗

Colic in babies is characterized by intense, excessive crying in an otherwise healthy infant. This crying typically lasts more than three hours a day, occurs more than three days a week, and persists for over three weeks. The condition usually begins when the baby is a few weeks old and often resolves by the time they are 3 to 4 months old.
Symptoms of Colic
• Crying Spells: Colicky babies cry inconsolably, often with high-pitched screams.
• Physical Signs: They may clench their fists, arch their back, pull their legs up to their tummy, and have a red face.
• Timing: Crying often occurs in the evening or late afternoon.

Possible Causes

The exact cause of colic is unknown, but several factors may contribute:
• Digestive System: Immature digestive systems or gas could be involved.
• Sensitivity: Babies might be sensitive to light, noise, or overstimulation.
• Dietary Factors: In some cases, sensitivity to certain foods in breast milk or formula can play a role.

Management and Relief

While colic is not harmful and resolves on its own, it can be stressful for parents. Here are some strategies to help soothe a colicky baby:
• Comforting Techniques: Hold or rock the baby gently, use white noise, or try a warm bath.
• Dietary Adjustments: If breastfeeding, consider eliminating potential irritants from the diet after consulting with a healthcare provider.
• Feeding Practices: Ensure proper feeding techniques to reduce swallowed air and gas formation.
If the crying persists or you are concerned about your baby’s health, consult a healthcare professional for advice and support.

Neonatal galactorrhea, commonly known as “witch’s milk,” is a condition where a milky discharge occurs from a newborn’s ni***es. This phenomenon is seen in approximately 5-6% of term infants and affects both sexes equally. The condition is primarily caused by the transplacental transfer of maternal hormones, particularly estrogen and prolactin, which can lead to breast tissue enlargement in newborns.
Causes
• Maternal Hormones: The primary cause is the influence of maternal hormones, especially estrogen, transferred to the infant before birth.
• Prolactin Levels: Elevated levels of prolactin due to hormonal changes after birth can also contribute.
Characteristics
• Breast Nodules: Infants with galactorrhea often have larger breast nodules compared to those without the condition.
• Duration: The condition typically resolves on its own by the age of two months, although it can persist slightly longer in some cases.
Management
• Observation: No treatment is generally required unless there are signs of infection such as redness or tenderness.
• Avoid Stimulation: Parents should avoid massaging or manipulating the breast tissue to prevent complications like mastitis.
Neonatal galactorrhea is a benign and self-limiting condition. However, persistent cases beyond six months may require evaluation by a pediatric endocrinologist to rule out other underlying conditions.
