Abstract

Breastfeeding offers optimal nutrition for infants, yet low milk production remains a frequent concern among postpartum mothers in Indonesia. This study examined the effect of Lagerstroemia indica leaf infusion on breast milk quantity among postpartum mothers at Puskesmas Bontomarannu. A quasi-experimental Two-Group Pretest–Posttest design involved 14 mothers assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group consumed the infusion twice daily for two weeks, while the control group received standard care. Breast milk volume was measured using standardized pumping techniques. Paired t-tests showed a significant increase in milk volume in the intervention group (66.25 ml to 90.00 ml; p = 0.010) compared with the control group (64.38 ml to 74.38 ml; p = 0.027). Independent t-test results confirmed a significant posttest difference between groups, indicating the effectiveness of the infusion in enhancing milk production. These findings suggest that Lagerstroemia indica infusion may serve as a practical and affordable galactagogue for postpartum mothers. However, the small sample size limits generalizability and necessitates further research with larger populations.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to promote social inclusion within the blue economy framework by empowering coastal women in Banggae Timur, Majene Regency, West Sulawesi. Traditionally, local marine products were limited to simple processing methods such as frying or grilling, yielding low added value. Through participatory training and mentoring with the Siamasei women’s group, participants were introduced to marine product diversification, particularly the development of flying fish (Hirundichthys oxycephalus) chili paste, a local specialty. The program employed counseling, demonstrations, and hands-on practice. Findings indicate significant improvements in participants’ skills, knowledge, and entrepreneurial motivation. This initiative highlights the potential of women’s empowerment in enhancing household income, diversifying marine-based products, and strengthening their role in sustainable local economic development
