Oxytocin Massage, Breast Milk ProductionAbstract
Postpartum is closely related to the lactation process. The lactation process is the entire process of breastfeeding, starting from the milk produced, secreted, and expenditure of breast milk, this process also continues until the process of breastfeeding babies. Yet, in the first days after childbirth mothers experienced anxiety and fear of a lack of milk production, this causes a decrease in the hormone oxytocin which inhibits the let down reflex; therefore breast milk cannot be produced after giving birth. Therefore, it is necessary to stimulate the oxytocin reflex before expressing milk. One method of stimulation that can be done on the mother is by giving an oxytocin massage. An oxytocin massage is a massage performed on the cervical spine, back, or along the spine up to the fifth to sixth bone. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of oxytocin massage in increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers. This research used a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. A consecutive technique was used. Data analysis used a paired t-test, Wilcoxon test, and Mann-Whitney test. The results show that there are differences in breast milk production in postpartum mothers assessed based on the baby's urine after receiving oxytocin massage with a value of p = 0.000 and without oxytocin massage with a value of p = 0.009. There is a difference in breastfeeding breast milk production assessed based on infant weight after oxytocin massage with p = 0.000 and without oxytocin massage with a value of p = 0.000. There is effectiveness of oxytocin massage in increasing breast milk production assessed based on the baby's urine with a value of p = 0.021 and infant weight with a p value = 0.042. The conclusion is that oxytocin massage is effective in increasing breast milk production in postpartum mothers at the Independent Practice Midwife Hermayanti East Pontianak.
