Abstract

Insufficient milk production is a major problem for mothers who have just given birth and affects the health condition of postpartum mothers. One of the actions that can be taken to increase milk production and improve the health of postpartum mothers is to consume foods that can increase breast milk production, namely ingredients that contain galactagogue substances. Several types of herbal plants that are often consumed by postpartum mothers after giving birth to increase breast milk in North Sumatra, especially the city of Medan, are making vegetables from the bangun-bangun leaves. Bangun-bangun leaves contain the main ingredients, namely carvakrol, thymol, humulene, undecanal, terpinene, cymene, caryophyllene oxide, terpineol and salinene whose nutritional content and composition helps to stimulate breast milk production.during the Covid 19 pandemic. The intervention was carried out by giving 100 grams of bangun-bangun leaves and consumed 3 times a day starting from the time the mother gave birth until 7 days. Breast milk production was assessed from the time the first breast milk was released and the health condition of the postpartum mother was assessed by measuring vital signs and assessing health conditions while still adhering to health protocols. The study was conducted in Medan Johor, North Sumatra Province and the sample in this study consisted of 60 people consisting of 30 intervention groups and 30 control groups according to the inclusion criteria. Collecting data using a questionnaire consisting of demographic data, data on the first day of breastfeeding, and data on health conditions in postpartum mothers before and after the intervention. Data analysis was carried out using dependent and independent t-tests. The results of the study showed that there was an effect of intervention on consumption of bangun-bangun leaves on breast milk production using an independent t-test with a p value of 0.010 and an intervention for consumption of bangun-bangun leaves with postpartum mother's health condition with a p-value of 0.001. The results of this study are expected to be a solution and intervention in the care of postpartum mothers who have problems in spending milk production and are able to improve health conditions, especially during the Covid 19 pandemic.
