Breastfeeding provides health, psychological, social, and economic benefits for both mothers and babies. However, despite the WHO's global target to increase exclusive breastfeeding coverage, Indonesia has seen a decline. The main obstacles include lack of social support, ongoing education, and low maternal motivation and confidence. Husband support plays a vital role in the mother's psychological well-being and milk ejection reflex. This study aims to examine the relationship between husband support and bounding attachment with smooth breast milk production in postpartum mothers. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 43 postpartum mothers at Purwodadi Health Center, Malang, using questionnaires and analyzed with Chi-Square and Fisher exact tests. Results showed 77% of mothers received low husband support, 51% had low bounding attachment, and 60% reported smooth milk production. There was a significant relationship between husband support (p=0.003) and bounding attachment (p=0.039) with milk production. In conclusion, strong husband support and good bounding improve breast milk flow.
