Abstract

The smooth provision of breast milk (ASI) during the postpartum period is still a challenge that needs special attention, one of which is influenced by the level of knowledge of mothers about breast care. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge of postpartum mothers about breast care and the smoothness of breastfeeding at the Millenium Clinic in 2024. This study used an analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were all postpartum mothers who visited the Millenium Clinic as many as 31 people (N = 31). The total population technique was used so that the entire population was used as a sample. The results showed that most postpartum mothers (19 respondents, 61.3%) had a low level of knowledge, while 7 respondents (22.6%) had a sufficient level of knowledge, and only 5 respondents (16.1%) had good knowledge. In addition, the majority of postpartum mothers (21 respondents, 67.7%) experienced poor breastfeeding, while 10 respondents (32.3%) reported smooth breastfeeding. The results of statistical analysis with a 95% confidence level showed a significant relationship between the level of knowledge of postpartum mothers about breast care and the smoothness of breast milk production (p < 0.001). It can be concluded that increasing postpartum mothers' knowledge about breast care is closely related to the smoothness of breast milk production. Therefore, it is recommended for health workers to develop comprehensive health promotion and education programs regarding breast care, especially for postpartum mothers in their respective work areas.

Abstract

Breast milk is a vital source of nutrition for an infant's growth, development, and immune system. However, not all breastfeeding mothers are able to produce breast milk optimally, necessitating efforts to facilitate smooth milk production. Date palm extract is a potential non-pharmacological alternative, as it contains various nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds that may support lactation. In light of this, a community service initiative was conducted in Sekip Village (Sederhana Hamlet), Lubuk Pakam, involving health education and guidance on the benefits and use of date palm extract to improve breast milk flow. The activity aimed to enhance breastfeeding mothers' knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of nutrition during lactation and to encourage successful exclusive breastfeeding. The methods employed included education, guidance, and evaluation using pre- and post-tests to assess breast milk flow. Results showed that prior to the intervention, 17 respondents (68%) experienced poor breast milk flow, while only 8 (32%) had good flow. Following the education, guidance, and a five-day regimen of date palm extract, the number of respondents with good breast milk flow increased to 21 (84%), while those experiencing poor flow decreased to 4 (16%). Furthermore, participants demonstrated increased knowledge and enthusiasm throughout the activity. Thus, education and guidance on the use of date palm extract serve as an effective non-pharmacological, health-promoting strategy to support smooth breast milk production, successful exclusive breastfeeding, and the overall health of mothers and infants.
