Abstract

Postpartum mothers in the Covid-19 era have greater challenges in the case of early prevention. Birth mothers experience a difficult adaptation process from pregnancy to delivery and the breastfeeding period. Unsuccessful adaptation can cause anxiety and the production of breast milk needed by the baby as the main food in early life. Non-optimal breast milk production will pose a risk to the baby's health, especially to the body's immunity to prevent infection. This study aims to determine the effect of the Mahabbah package intervention on the increase of breast milk production in postpartum mothers. The study is a quasi-experiment designed with a pre-post test with a control group. 33 postpartum mothers on the first day were the sample. Instruments for increasing breast milk production are measured using standardized measuring cups, educational media, standard operating procedures for oxytocin massage, breast care, and breast milk measurement observation sheets. The Mahabbah package tool was designed by combining the three methods, namely breast care, oxytocin massage using an electric device, and education on how to breastfeed properly. The intervention results showed a difference in breast milk production before and after the treatment of the Mahabbah package. The results of the analysis with the t-test showed a significance value (p=0.001). Thus, the Mahabbah package intervention is recommended as an easy and inexpensive way without side effects in optimizing the health of postpartum mothers and their babies.
