Lactation support raises breastfeeding rates.
IBCLC-led support significantly increases any and exclusive breastfeeding at 3 and 6 months (Cochrane, 2017).

Postpartum & Lactation
The first 90 days, tended to at home.
Postpartum physiotherapy, IBCLC-level lactation support, mental health check-ins and sleep coaching — one team, no handoff.
Why it matters
The fourth trimester is when mothers are most alone and least screened. Wombly stays. Recovery, feeding, mood and sleep are all held by the same team that carried you through pregnancy.
The science, in plain language
What the evidence says.
Postpartum PT works.
Structured pelvic-floor and diastasis programs reduce urinary incontinence and abdominal separation persistence at 12 weeks postpartum (BJSM, 2020).
