Summary

This study looked at whether giving first-time mothers continuous support from a midwife, starting at 36 weeks of pregnancy through the early weeks after birth, could improve their comfort, sleep quality, and confidence in breastfeeding. 128 women took part, with some receiving extra midwife support and others standard care. The results suggest that this extra support helped women feel more comfortable, sleep better, and feel more confident about breastfeeding.
