“…The average weight gain in the treatment group was 3254 grams higher than the control 3150 grams. This is in line with Sulymbona's research (2020) that giving acupressure points CV 18, ST 17, and SI1 to postpartum mothers 3 times a week can increase breast milk production (16). ST18 and SI1 usually only using fingers or blunt objects that do not injure the body surface, which can provide a suppressing effect so that more acceptable and tolerated by patients.…”

Produksi dan sekresi ASI dipengaruhi oleh refleks prolaktin dan refleks let-down. Salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan produksi ASI adalah dengan rolling massage dan akupresur terletak di sebelah lateral payudara, 4 jari di bawah puting susu, dan dapat meningkatkan sirkulasi darah yang dapat merangsang alveolus untuk berkontraksi sehingga ASI keluar menuju puting. Penelitian sebelumnya menyatakan bahwa ibu nifas yang diberikan senam nifas dan akupresur pada hari kedua, keempat, dan ketujuh setelah melahirkan sama-sama meningkatkan produksi ASI, namun kelompok akupresur lebih tinggi dibandingkan kelompok senam nifas. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh rolling massage dan akupresur ST-18 terhadap produksi ASI dan penurunan tinggi fundus pada ibu nifas. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen semu. Rancangan penelitian ini adalah Randomized Control Group dengan Pre-Test dan Post-Test. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu nifas di Puskesmas Kota Semarang yang berjumlah 16 responden pada kelompok perlakuan dan 16 responden pada kelompok kontrol, dikumpulkan secara cluster random sampling. Setelah mendapat persetujuan dari responden, peneliti mulai melakukan pre-test terhadap tinggi fundus dan produksi ASI pada kelompok perlakuan dan kelompok kontrol, kemudian post-test setelah 3 hari perlakuan. Data dianalisis dengan uji t Independen dan uji Mann Whitney. Hasil: Karakteristik responden pada kedua kelompok menunjukkan sebagian besar responden berusia 27,9 tahun, merupakan wanita primipara dan memiliki status gizi baik. Rerata peningkatan produksi ASI dinilai dari pertambahan berat badan bayi sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan dari 3117,8 gram menjadi 3254 gram. Ada perbedaan produksi ASI pada kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol dengan nilai p 0,0001, dan tidak ada perbedaan penurunan tinggi fundus pada kedua kelompok (p value=3,91), namun penurunan tinggi fundus pada kelompok perlakuan lebih cepat dibandingkan kelompok kontrol yaitu 3,91 cm. Kesimpulan: Perlunya bidan memberikan asuhan kebidanan pada ibu nifas secara holistik dan komprehensif misalnya berupa rolling massage dan akupresur pada titik

“…Assessing feedings, pumping, and infant stooling patterns is another method for evaluating adequate milk supply (Westerfield et al, 2018). A “checklist of defecate” was mentioned but details were unreported in Sulymbona et al (2020).…”

“…There were significant design details missing from recent studies. Sulymbona et al (2020) did not mention which day postpartum acupressure intervention began and did not report results of what they termed “the baby's defecating checklist,” making it difficult to fully understand the effectiveness of the acupressure. The methods section of Erfina et al (2020) is not explicit about how milk production was measured.…”

Purpose: To assess the effects of acupressure on lactation. Methods: A literature search was conducted via Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, and PubMed using keyword search terms acupuncture, Tuina and breastfeeding, human lactation or human milk and excluded auricular. Inclusion criteria were articles in English with no restriction on publication date. We included acupuncture as well as acupressure to ensure that relevant articles were not missed. Results: After duplicates were removed, our initial search yielded 217 articles. Using the PRISMA checklist (Liberati et al., 2009), six articles met inclusion criteria (five research studies, one case study). Preliminary evidence suggests acupressure offers a promising and inexpensive method of enhancing secretory activation following cesarean and vaginal term and late preterm births, specifically when performed at acupoints CV 17, ST 18, and SI 1. Clinical Implications: Human milk is the optimal source of infant nutrition. Concern of low milk supply is most often cited as the cause for early supplementation with formula as well as early cessation of breastfeeding. Acupressure may be helpful in improving milk supply in early postpartum, but more research on acupressure and lactation is warranted.

“…Menurut penelitian sebelumnya bahwa melakukan akupresure pada ibu menyusui pada titik pusat di dada Pc 6, Ki 23, St 18, ST 15, ST 16, dan Li 4 selama 30 menit sebanyak 2 kali dalam sehari dapat membantu ibu merasa rileks dan secara fisiologis merangsang pengeluaran ASI (Parwati et al, 2017). Juga didukung penemuan bahwa terapi akupresur pada titik spesifik ST18, SI1, dan ST17 sebanyak tiga kali seminggu selama tiga minggu terbukti meningkatkan produksi ASI, menurut hasil penelitian oleh Sulymbona et al (2020). Dalam Teknik akupresure terdapat titik-titik acupoint yang dapat digunakan untuk enstimulasi pengeluaran hormon prolactin.…”

Breastfeeding is a crucial process that requires adequate milk production to ensure the baby's health and growth. However, mothers may face difficulty in breastfeeding after giving birth due to insufficient milk production. To address this problem, intervention can be done through a combination of acupressure techniques and aromatherapy using essential fennel oil. This approach has been proven effective in increasing breast milk production and making the process smoother for the mother. The study aimed to determine the effect of acupressure and fennel oil aromatherapy in increasing breast milk volume. The research design was a quasi-experiment with a pretest and posttest group design. The study involved 30 breastfeeding mothers who met the inclusion criteria and were divided into two groups using purposive sampling. The results showed that there was a significant increase in breast milk production after providing acupressure techniques and fennel oil aromatherapy. The acupressure technique helped release oxytocin, which is essential in increasing breast milk production. Moreover, providing fennel oil aromatherapy during the acupressure process can help the mother become more relaxed and increase breast milk production. Therefore, we recommend that midwives use acupressure techniques and fennel oil aromatherapy as complementary therapies to help increase breast milk production and ensure a healthy breastfeeding experience for mothers and their babies.
