One way to increase milk production, one of which is oxytocin massage. The aim of the study was to determine the effectiveness of oxytocin massage on milk production in post partum mothers. Research methodology This study is a quantitative study of quasi experiment with repeated measure approach based on time serries, to determine the increase in spontaneous breast milk production after spontaneous postpartum massage. This research has been in the Test of Ethics Ethical Clearance in Tugurejo Semarang hospital. The results showed that there were significant repeated mean values between breast milk production after the first, second and third oxytocin massage treatments (p-value = 0,000). ASI production after the first treatment had a mean rating of 1.37 cc lower than the average rating after the second treatment of 1.77 cc and the average rating after the third treatment was 2.87 cc.

Penelitian ini sudah di Uji Etik (Ethical Clearance) di RSUD Tugurejo Semarang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rerata berulang yang signifikan antara produksi ASI setelah perlakuan pijat oksitosin pertama, kedua dan ketiga (p-value=0,000). Produksi ASI setelah perlakuan pertama memiliki rerata peringkat 1,37 cc lebih rendah daripada rerata peringkat setelah perlakuan kedua 1,77 cc dan rerata peringkat setelah perlakuan ketiga adalah 2,87 cc.
