Abstract:
Breast milk is indeed important for newborns, but the problem faced by breastfeeding mothers is
the lack of milk production. Every woman's body is different in producing milk, some produce a lot
of milk, and some also produce little milk on the first day or even a few weeks later. Decreased milk
production during early breastfeeding is a problem for mothers to breastfeed their babies from an
early age. Non-pharmacological alternative treatments to increase milk production are oxytocin
massage and breast massage intervention. This study analyzed the effectiveness of postpartum
mother's milk production in the group given the intervention of Oxytocin Massage and Breast
Massage with the control group. This study was an experimental study with a pretest-posttest
control group design that used the Consecutive Sampling technique, the number of respondents in
this study amounted to 20 people, the analysis technique used the Wilcoxon sign test with SPSS.
The results showed that there was an effect of oxytocin massage on postpartum milk production =
0.000, and there was an effect of breast massage on postpartum milk production = 0.000. There
was no difference in the effect of oxytocin massage and breast massage on the production of
postpartum mother's milk = 0.893. The conclusions of this study are: (1) oxytocin massage can
increase the production of postpartum mothers; (2) breast massage increases postpartum maternal
production; (3) There is no difference in the effect of oxytocin massage and breast massage in
increasing postpartum maternal output in Al-Hikmah RB, Mojokerto Regency
