Abstract

National coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in 2018 is 74.5%. Failure to breastfeed can be caused by not releasing breastmilk smoothly. 35% of mothers stop breastfeeding on the grounds that breastfeeding is not smooth so that it cannot meet the needs of their babies. The decrease in milk production and fluency on the first day of post partum can be caused by a lack of the hormones prolactin and oxytocin which play a role in the smooth production and excretion of breast milk. The problem formulation used the PICO method and met the inclusion criteria. Efforts that can be made by midwives to overcome this problem by doing lactation massage, so that the production of breast milk is large and the baby gets adequate and quality breast milk. Objective: To analyze the effect of lactation massage with virgin coconut oil (VCO) on the quality of breast milk in postpartum mothers.
