<![CDATA[Introduction: Lactation massage involves massaging the neck, shoulders, scapula, back, and breast area, performed twice a day for 5 minutes over a period of 3 days. This method of breast care is painless and can stimulate the strength of the breast muscles, aiming to enhance the production of the hormones prolactin and oxytocin, which in turn increases milk production. Additionally, it can make the breasts more elastic, facilitating the baby's ability to latch and suckle effectively. The purpose of this study is to assess breast milk production following lactation massage in normal postpartum mothers, comparing the control group with the treatment group.Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a two-group pre-post test control group approach, utilizing purposive sampling with a sample size of 30. Data collection was conducted using questionnaires and observation sheets. Results: The statistical analysis using the paired t-test revealed a p-value of less than 0.05, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho), which indicates a significant relationship between the effect of lactation massage on breast milk production in postpartum mothers in the village. Conclusion: The findings of this study can serve as valuable input for healthcare providers working with patients experiencing irregular milk production in normal postpartum mothers, enabling them to enhance milk production through the application of lactation massage techniques.]]>
