Abstract

Background: Insufficient breast milk production is a major obstacle to exclusive breastfeeding. Lactation massage is a potential complementary intervention to increase milk production, but requires stronger scientific evidence. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of lactation massage on increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers. Method: The research design used a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest. Participants consisted of 20 postpartum mothers in an independent midwifery practice area in Banjarmasin. Standardized lactation massage intervention was performed for 15 minutes, twice daily, for three consecutive days. Milk production was measured in milliliters (ml) using a manual breast pump before (first postpartum day) and after the intervention (third day). Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test. Results: There was a significant increase in breast milk production after the intervention (p < 0.001). The average milk volume increased from 188.5 ± 40.95 ml to 342.5 ± 69.04 ml. Before the intervention, 100% of respondents had insufficient milk production (<250 ml). After the intervention, the distribution changed to 65% sufficient (250-400 ml) and 25% more (>400 ml). Conclusion: Lactation massage significantly increases breast milk production in postpartum mothers, thus it can be considered as a supportive intervention in postpartum care.

Abstract

Background: Perineal wounds are a common childbirth complication that significantly impacts maternal quality of life. In resource-limited settings such as plantation clinics, effective, safe, and affordable solutions are needed. Lemongrass decoction  as a traditional application holds potential as complementary therapy, but empirical evidence for postpartum perineal wounds remains limited. Objective: To determine the relationship between the administration of lemongrass decoction and the healing of perineal wounds in postpartum mothers at the PT. GSPP Polyclinic. Methods:  A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group design was conducted on 20 postpartum mothers divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received standard care plus topical application of lemongrass decoction twice daily, while the control group received standard care only. Wound healing was assessed based on clinical time (≤6 days for the 'Good' category) up to day 7. Data analysis used Fisher's Exact test and Odds Ratio (OR) calculation. Results: Most mothers who received lemongrass decoction (9 out of 10) experienced good healing (<6 days), while the majority who did not receive the intervention (7 out of 10) experienced poor healing (≥6 days). The relationship was statistically significant (p=0.020). Mothers who did not receive lemongrass decoction therapy had 21 times higher odds of experiencing poor healing (OR = 21.000; 95% CI: 1.777-248.103). Conclusion: The administration of lemongrass decoction has a significant and protective relationship with the acceleration of perineal wound healing in postpartum mothers.
