Abstract

The presence of a baby is the happiest moment and is eagerly awaited by parents. Exclusive breastfeeding is the duty of a mother after giving birth, and the happiest thing for a mother is when she is able to give breast milk to her baby. But in reality there are still many mothers who experience problems in giving breast milk because milk production does not come out in the first days of breastfeeding, thus making mothers feel anxious and worried because they cannot meet the nutritional needs of their babies and finally give formula milk. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Moringa oleifera Lamk (Leaves Kelor) and Sauropus Androgynus (Leaves Katuk) on increasing breast milk production. The method used in sampling is using the total sampling method. The research sample was all pregnant women 37-40 weeks of gestation who gave birth normally at the Independent Midwife Practice. This type of research is a quasi-experimental research design with two group pre-posttest design. The results showed that giving and Sauropus Androgynus (Leaves Katuk) was more effective than Moringa oleifera Lamk (Leaves Kelor) in increasing breast milk production with a p value of 0.05. The conclusion is that Moringa oleifera Lamk (Leaves Kelor) and Sauropus Androgynus (Leaves Katuk) can be given and consumed for third trimester pregnant women and Moringa oleifera Lamk (Leaves Kelor) is more effective in increasing breast milk production.
