Abstract

Background: Colostrum is the first natural food for newborns, containing essential nutrients and antibodies that protect against infection. Health education for pregnant women in their third trimester is crucial to enhance their knowledge and practices regarding colostrum provision. Despite the global decline in neonatal mortality, the rate remains high, partly due to limited access and low quality of neonatal care. In Indonesia, particularly in Semarang, although exclusive breastfeeding coverage has improved, many mothers still lack understanding of colostrum’s importance and remain influenced by misconceptions. Preliminary studies revealed insufficient knowledge among pregnant women about colostrum. Method: This study applied a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The intervention group received health education, while the control group did not. Results: Before intervention, most respondents in both groups had poor knowledge. After the intervention, knowledge in the intervention group increased significantly, with 88.8% reaching a good category, while the control group showed no significant change. Furthermore, 94.4% of mothers in the intervention group gave colostrum, compared with only 33.3% in the control group. Conclusion: Health education is an effective strategy to increase maternal knowledge and encourage colostrum practice, dispelling myths and promoting better neonatal outcomes.

Abstract

Oxytocin massage is a technique used to stimulate the release of the hormone oxytocin, which plays a vital role in breastfeeding. Spinal massage stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which then triggers the release of oxytocin. This hormone causes contractions in the muscle cells surrounding the milk ducts, thereby promoting breast milk production. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of oxytocin massage on increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers. This study used a quantitative design with a quasi-experimental approach, namely a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study population was postpartum mothers with breast milk flow problems at the Bandarharjo Community Health Center, Semarang City. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, where researchers selected samples based on certain characteristics. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire. Data analysis used the Chi-Square test. The results of the study showed that the calculated Chi-Square value on the first day (62,000) was greater than the Chi-Square table (12,591), on the second day (54,866 > 23,684), and the third day (58,117 > 32,670). Based on these results, H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted, which means there was a significant effect of oxytocin massage on the smooth production of breast milk in postpartum mothers at the Bandarharjo Community Health Center.
