Abstract

Suboptimal breast milk production during the postpartum period is one of the causes of low rates of exclusive breastfeeding. Various nonpharmacological interventions have been developed to increase breast milk production, one of which involves a combination of oxytocin massage and breast care. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of a combination of oxytocin massage and breast care in increasing breast milk production among postpartum mothers at the Konaro Community Health Center. The study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The study sample consisted of 25 postpartum mothers selected using total sampling. Breast milk production was measured based on breast milk volume before and after the intervention. Data analysis included the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and a paired t-test with a 95% significance level. The results showed that the average breast milk production volume increased from 34.00 ± 11.71 mL before the intervention to 106.52 ± 34.13 mL after the intervention, with an average increase of 72.52 mL. The results of the paired t-test showed a statistically significant increase in breast milk production following the combination of oxytocin massage and breast care (p=0.000). The combination of these two interventions is effective in increasing breast milk production and has the potential to become a safe, easy-to-implement, and nonpharmacological intervention that can be integrated into midwifery care to support the success of exclusive breastfeeding among postpartum mothers.
