Breast milk contains more than one hundred types of nutrients needed for growth and development of infants. However, many lactating mothers currently do not provide breast milk because of insufficient milk production.

It was a quasi-experimental research using pretest-posttest with control group design.The research sample consisted of 20 lactating mothers consisting of 10 pregnant women in the control group and 10 pregnant women in the experimental group. Sampling was conducted by purposive sampling technique.This research utilized breast pumps and observation sheets as the research instruments. The statistical test used was a simple Independent t-test. This research obtained Pvalue 0.000 < 0.005, which means that there is an effect of consumption of Chaya leaf extract on increasing milk production in lactating mothers in the Sukarame Community Health Center area, Tasikmalaya. Lactating mothers are expected to consume Chaya leaf extract 2-3 times every day.
