Abstract

Background: Husband support is a crucial factor in the success of exclusive breastfeeding, yet many husbands have limited knowledge and awareness of its importance. Education through booklets has been identified as an effective way to increase this support. Purpose: To determine the effect of using booklets on increasing husband support for exclusive breastfeeding among breastfeeding mothers at the Cireunghas Public Health Center in 2025. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group, conducted in April 2025. The sample consisted of 30 husbands of breastfeeding mothers. Data were analyzed using an independent t-test. Results: Breast milk production increased from 80 ml (40%) to 120 ml (60%) after the intervention, demonstrating the effectiveness of the intervention in increasing breast milk production. In the intervention group, husband support significantly increased by 53% (from 47% to 100%) after the booklet was provided (p=0.05). Meanwhile, in the control group, support increased by only 7% (from 27% to 33%). These results indicate that the booklet is effective in increasing husbands' understanding and attitudes toward the importance of exclusive breastfeeding. Conclusion: The booklet has been shown to be effective in increasing husbands' knowledge, understanding, and support. Suggestion: It is hoped that husbands will continue to improve their understanding and involvement in supporting exclusive breastfeeding.

Abstract

Background: One of the common problems experienced by postpartum mothers is low breast milk production. Sauropus androgynus (katuk leaves) and Phoenix dactylifera (dates) are known to contain galactagogue compounds that can stimulate prolactin and oxytocin hormones to enhance breast milk production. Purpose: To determine the effect of date extract and katuk leaves on increasing breast milk production among postpartum mothers in the working area of Midwife N Private Practice, Bandung Regency. Method: This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of two treatment groups, each comprising 10 respondents. The first group consumed 45 grams (3 tablespoons) of date extract once daily for seven days, while the second group consumed 100 grams of katuk leaves daily for seven days. Data was analyzed using paired sample t-tests and independent t-tests. Results:The results showed that the mean breast milk volume before consuming date extract was 4.3 ml and increased to 57 ml after the intervention, with a mean difference of 52.7 ml (p = 0.000). In the katuk leaf group, the average milk production increased from 4.9 ml to 68 ml, with a mean difference of 63.1 ml (p = 0.000). There was a significant difference between the two interventions (p = 0.000), indicating that katuk leaves had a greater effect on increasing breast milk production compared to date extract. Conclusion: There is a difference of date palm extract and katuk leaves in increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers. Suggestion: It is recommended that postpartum mothers consume katuk leaves and date extract as natural alternatives to enhance breast milk production
