Abstract

Introduciton: Insufficient breast milk is one of the main obstacles to the success of exclusive breastfeeding. Data from the Pujokerto Health Center work area shows that 61% of postpartum mothers experience insufficient breast milk. Objective: The study aims to determine the effect of a combination of acupressure and breast care therapy on the duration of smooth breast milk in postpartum mothers. Method: Quantitative research with a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest group design. The sample consisted of 14 respondents, divided into two groups: intervention (acupressure + breast care) and control (only breast care). Data analysis used the dependent T test. Results: The average number of days of smooth breast milk in the intervention group was 3.14 days and the control group was 3.42 days. The bivariate test showed a p-value = 0.414 (≥ 0.05), meaning that there was no significant effect between the combination of therapies on the duration of smooth breast milk. Conclusion: There was no significant effect of the combination of therapies on the duration of smooth breast milk.
