USE OF GALACTOGOG TO INCREASE BREAST MILK VOLUME AS THE MAIN GOAL OF SDGS IN REDUCING STUNTING

Abstract

The first 1000 days of life are the most important and unique at the beginning of human life, from conception to two years after giving birth which have an impact on growth and development. This research aimed to determine the differences in breast milk production between the control group, the group given Torbangun leaves, and the group given fenugreek and to carry out an analysis of the zinc content of breast milk for each group. This research design uses a quasi-experiment with a control and intervention group. Purposive sampling technique. Sample Size 49 Responden The number of respondents in this study was 30 respondents, 10 in the control group, 10 respondents in the tobangun intervention group, and 10 respondents in the fenugreek capsule intervention. The analysis test used is the one-way ANOVA analysis test which is used to see the differences between each group. The research results showed a significant difference between the control group and the treatment group with a significance value in the laboratory test for zinc levels, namely 0.000, namely <0.05. Conclusion: Galactogues can be useful for breastfeeding mothers to increase breast milk volume. The suggestion is to use Galagtogog and Fenugreek for postpartum mothers to increase zinc levels and volume in the breast milk of nursing mothers. Keywords: Breast milk tablets; Galaktogogue; Torbangun leaves
