The low achievement of exclusive breastmilk can affect the quality of future human resources, thus affecting the national economy. In addition, breastmilk that cannot be released smoothly can cause the occurrence of mastitis in mothers, and the babies who do not receive the breastmilk will be susceptible to suffering from diseases.

The research instrument used was in the form of an observation sheet. Furthermore, this community service was carried out by first preparing the SOP and black glutinous rice porridge, which was further used as the intervention. This activity involved 30 respondents to educate the mothers about the benefits of black glutinous rice porridge in increasing breastmilk production and demonstrating how to make the black glutinous rice porridge.
