Abstract

The difficulty in expressing breast milk after childbirth can be caused by a lack of stimulation of the hormone oxytocin, which plays a crucial role in the smooth expression of breast milk. One complementary therapy that is beneficial and proven to have a significant impact on the smooth expression of breast milk is a combination of breast care and oxytocin massage, which can stimulate the oxytocin reflex and increase breast milk production. The purpose of this evidence-based study is to evaluate the effectiveness of breast care and oxytocin massage on the smooth production of breast milk in postpartum mothers. This scientific work applies continuity of midwifery care from the third trimester of pregnancy to family planning services, with a focus on Evidence-Based Practice Midwifery (EBM) of breast care and oxytocin massage. The care was carried out at Clinic Pratama Afiyah Pekanbaru from March to June 2025. Success indicators were measured using observation sheets before and after intervention. Descriptive data analysis was used to describe the results of the intervention. The results of continuity of midwifery care for Mrs. S, 33 years old, G2P1A0H1, showed an increase in the frequency of breastfeeding, an increase in urination and bowel movements, and an increase in breast milk production. Thus, the combination of breast care and oxytocin massage was proven to be effective in smoothing breast milk production. Health workers are advised to provide midwifery services, especially on the smooth production of breast milk in postpartum mothers
