Summary
This study tested whether personalized home visits by midwives during the first three months after birth can improve how new mothers function, their breastfeeding success, and their emotional resilience. 94 first-time mothers with healthy babies took part. The visits included education on hygiene, breastfeeding, and baby care, plus extra support based on each mother's needs.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could become a standard way to help new mothers feel more capable, breastfeed longer, and reduce postpartum depression.
