The Effect of Dates (Phoenix dactylifera) on Breast Milk Production in Post Partum Mother Day 3-9

Abstract

Mother's Milk (ASI) is the best food for babies that is produced directly from the mother's breast to her newborn baby, because its composition is appropriate for every baby's growth and development, breast milk also contains protective substances that can prevent babies from various infectious diseases . Dates contain iron, protein, fiber, glucose, vitamins, biotin, niacin, folic acid, and minerals such as calcium, sodium, and potassium which can increase breast milk production . The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dates on breast milk production in postpartum mothers on days 3-9 at PMB Binti Qoni'ah Nganjuk 2021. The design of this study was pre-experimental using a one-group pre-posttest design. In this study obtained a population of 15 people, with a sample of 15 people using total sampling technique. The data was collected using an observation sheet and the hypothesis test used was the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with a significance value = 0.05. The statistical test result from the Wilcoxon Sign Rank obtained p value = 0,01 with an error level (=0.05), it can be said that p < than it can be concluded that Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted. There is an effect of dates on breast milk production in postpartum mothers on days 3 - 9 at PMB Binti Qoni'ah Nganjuk 2021. Based on the results of the study, it is hoped that the research area can be used as input for using dates to increase breast milk production in the development of traditional medicine

Phoenix dactylifera L.: An Overview of Phytochemical Constituents and Impact on Women's Health

“…The suspension increased the estrogen and progesterone serum levels though LH and FSH didn't change significantly as compared to the control groups. Otify et al [44] studied the effect of pollen extracts in rats using multivariate data analysis to correlate between UPLC-MS results and bioassays. Their results indicated that flavonoid glycosides in the polar butanol fraction and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the non-polar petroleum ether fraction substantially contributed to their fertility enhancing activities.…”

The Effect of Date Soy Milk (Delma) on Breast Milk Production in Post Partum at Loa Kulu Health Center’s Work Area in 2023

“…According to Dewi et al (2021), giving 100 grams of dates to postpartum mothers on days 3-9 for seven consecutive days can increase breast milk production. Based on Nengsih et al (2020), giving 250 ml of soy milk can increase breast milk production.…”

“…The research conducted by Pohan & Lestari in 2022 indicates that providing soy milk can increase breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers, while the study by Dewi et al in 2021 found that consuming dates can increase breast milk production in postpartum mothers from day 3 to day 9. Therefore, the recent research results align with previous findings regarding the increase in breast milk production through the consumption of dates and soy milk.…”
