<![CDATA[Background: Sectio caesarea delivery often caused breastfeeding difficulties due to pain, limited mobility, and disruption of the oxytocin hormone, resulting in inadequate breast milk supply. Oxytocin massage and breast care were safe and easy-to-implement non-pharmacological interventions for addressing these problems. Objective: This study aimed to implement nursing care through a combination of oxytocin massage and breast care to increase breast milk supply in a post-sectio caesarea mother. Methods: This study used a qualitative case study approach within the nursing process, from assessment to evaluation, involving a client (Mrs. B) in the Postpartum Ward of Ratu Zaleha Regional General Hospital. The main intervention consisted of a combination of oxytocin massage and breast care for 15 minutes (5 minutes of oxytocin massage and 10 minutes of breast care), once a day in the evening, for three consecutive days. The intervention was performed using a washcloth and massage oil. Results and Discussion: The results showed a gradual increase in breast milk supply and improved milk flow, as indicated by the appearance of breast milk droplets until the mother was able to breastfeed her baby directly. The mother also reported feeling more relaxed and confident. Conclusion: Oxytocin massage combined with breast care could be used as a safe and easy-to-implement nursing intervention to increase breast milk supply in post-sectio caesarea mothers.. Suggestion: Future studies were recommended to use a larger sample size to obtain more optimal results.]]>
