Abstract

Stunting is a problem that must be addressed immediately. One of the key interventions is to promote the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Insufficient breast milk production is one of the obstacles to achieving successful exclusive breastfeeding. This study examines research findings on the effects of complementary therapies, particularly acupuncture and acupressure, on increasing breast milk production. Research articles were collected from various online databases, including Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied to obtain original clinical research articles relevant to the desired topic, published within the last five years, and whose research methods and results were well explained and valid. In total, only five articles met the criteria for discussion. Accurate acupuncture interventions can enhance milk production in both postpartum mothers with a history of vaginal delivery and those who have undergone cesarean sections. Acupressure also increases milk production, particularly at points CV 18, ST 17, SI 1, ST 15, ST 16, and LI 4. Acupressure has the potential to serve as a complementary treatment for postpartum mothers to help improve breast milk production. However, acupuncture and acupressure therapies have not gained widespread popularity, especially at the international level, which presents significant opportunities for further research.
