BACK MASSAGE WITH ROTATING PRESSURE UNTUK PELANCAR ASI BERBASIS ATMega328 (PIJAT OKSITOSIN)
Abstract
Breast milk is very useful for babies early in life because it contains a lot of
antibodies for the baby's immunity and can prevent diarrhea that will cause infant. Many
postpartum mothers complain that their milk does not come out so they cannot give milk

hormone prolactin and the hormone oxytocin. Efforts to stimulate the hormone by doing
massage techniques in the form of breast care and oxytocin massage. The purpose of this
study was the design of back massage with rotating pressure therapy devices for
breastfeeding. With the use of back massage therapy, an increase in the amount of breast
milk can be seen. This research method uses Pre-Experimental with the type "The One
Group Pretest-Posttest Design". This type of research compares the need to do before the
sample and after treatment of the sample. The results of this study indicate an increase in
the volume of breast milk in postpartum mothers with an average before treatment of 20
ml and after treatment of 27.3 ml with a difference of increase of 7.3 ml. The difference
can indicate this therapeutic tool can work by the expectations of the author fatherly can
facilitate breastfeeding in post partum mothers. The results of the timer measurement tool
function test obtained an average of 900 seconds at a 15-minute timer and an average of
1199 seconds at a 20-minute timer.
