Abstract

Background:The low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia and the world can
have a negative impact on mothers, babies, families, and even the country. Research by
Rawat, et al (2018) states that one of the causes of failure of the breastfeeding process in
primiparous and in the first week of delivery is that the mother finds it difficult to attach when
breastfeeding and feels that breast milk is not enough. Another study conducted by Jacobs,
et al (2013) also proved that the majority of respondents felt that breast milk production
was scant, so they decided to provide formula milk. Meanwhile, research conducted by
Madhavi and Manikyamba (2016) found that the reason for not giving exclusive breastfeeding
was difficulty in the breastfeeding process. Therefore it is necessary to have a method to
stimulate milk production at the beginning of postpartum, one of which is oxytocin massage.
