Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding plays an important role in infant health, but the achievement of exclusive breastfeeding globally and internationally has not yet met the set targets. One of the main obstacles faced by postpartum mothers is the lack of smooth milk production in the early postpartum period due to physiological and psychological factors such as stress, fatigue, and impaired let-down reflex. Oxytocin massage is believed to be able to stimulate the release of the oxytocin hormone, thereby helping to facilitate breast milk production, but its application at the primary care level is still limited. This study aims to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on the smoothness of breast milk in primiparous postpartum mothers in the working area of the Alalak Selatan Community Health Center, Banjarmasin City. The study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one group pretest-posttest design. The population was all primiparous postpartum mothers in the working area of the Alalak Selatan Community Health Center, with samples taken using an accidental sampling technique. The oxytocin massage intervention was given for three consecutive days, the smoothness of breast milk was measured before and after the intervention using an observation sheet. The results showed a significant increase in breast milk flow after the intervention, with all 30 respondents reaching the smooth category ( Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test , Z = 4.806; p = 0.000).
