ABOUT ME
Nida Manan BSc Hons, TMBP

I have a degree in Pharmacology and over 10 years of experience in the healthcare environment as a Pharmacy Technician, dedicated to patient care.

After struggling to breastfeed my first child, I was able to pain-free breastfeed my second baby successfully for 24 months after learning the beautiful Thompson Method.

Following my experiences through pregnancy with and without the Thompson Method, I understood the need for this knowledge and understanding about pregnancy and breastfeeding to be available to all mothers. It has become my passion and goal to help women achieve pain-free breastfeeding and a beautiful birth experience which is why I chose to become a Thompson Method Breastfeeding Practitioner.


MY STORY

I had a difficult experience with labour, birth, and breastfeeding with my first child. I could only breastfeed my baby for 3 months alongside formula milk which caused my baby girl gastrointestinal problems, she suffered from reflux and stomach pain.​

Having been induced which led to further complications. Induction made my pain 10 times worse than normal. Due to this, I had all interventions to relieve my pain in the form of pethidine, epidural, gas and air. My baby was born with the effects of the opioids and I could not achieve my 3 Golden hours. It took me days to get back to normal.

I was taught the cross-cradle breastfeeding technique along with the use of nipple shields. My whole experience of labour, birth and breastfeeding was completely controlled by the system. I doubted my maternal instincts. I was advised by the hospital system to introduce formula milk as my daughter was suffering from jaundice and I am not producing enough milk. I left the hospital with nipple trauma.

I came across The Thomson Method Breastfeeding program during my second pregnancy through social media. I purchased the program and I must say this was my best decision. This program has given me the knowledge and confidence to believe in my maternal instincts. I breastfed my second baby for 2 years, we shared unforgettable memories and achieved a beautiful bond.  Not only did I achieve a beautiful breastfeeding journey with my baby boy but I was also able to help women in my circle with the knowledge I gained from the program. Understanding the profound effect this has on the development of a baby I was inspired to become a part of The Thompson Method breastfeeding academy.

Oh wow where do I start? I'm so so glad I was recommended this course and so blessed I got to do it with the sweetest soul Nida!

I am going to become a first time mother, I didn't have much knowledge on breastfeeding and labour, this course shown to me through Nida has given me so much knowledge and she has made me feel so calm and empowered going forward into this journey. I couldn't have done it without her!

I highly recommend this amazing course to everyone, it has helped me millions! Thank you so much Nida 🤍

Where do I start!?
My confidence had been knocked from my first pregnancy and being coaxed into topping up with formula which i carried into my subsequent 2 pregnancies.
Nida really helped me to relax into my body and trust our journey how ever that turned out to look.
I am eternally grateful. I now have a 4.8kg 8 week old. I have roughly followed the thompson method to what felt right to my unique journey. I mostly feed on one breast which slightly complicates things, but i have found what works for us, all thanks to Nida, AND a massage, ladies please get postpartum massages too!
Nida has such a warm and genuinely loving energy, you won’t regret investing in yourself. I only wish that i had invested prior to giving birth rather than urgently needing to afterwards. Whether first time or not I’m sure you learn valuable information from the Thompson method and Nida!

I knew Nida through work even before I was expecting and was really intrigued to know more when I heard she offered support and advice for expecting mums.
As this was my first pregnancy I appreciated all the information I could get before baby arrived and found the material Nida talked through really helpful. I didn't really have much knowledge of breastfeeding though I did know that was the way I ideally wanted to feed my baby so enrolling on the course was a great help in learning in how I could best do so.
I've been exclusively breastfeeding my baby since he was born for just over 12 weeks now, learning about the Thompson method through Nida has definitely helped during my breastfeeding journey. I would highly recommend both to all expectant mothers, especially first time mums who don't know what to expect once baby arrives

Nida was amazing at delivering this course to myself and has helped me immensely during my breastfeeding journey as a first time mother. I had little to no knowledge on the labour process and breastfeeding at the beginning of my pregnancy and the knowledge I have learnt from Nida has been so beneficial and has definitely made this process feel less overwhelming. Having a child is a life changing event and by enrolling on to this course it will equip you for every stage of the birth and breastfeeding process - I would definitely recommend!
