Method: The method used is a case study and assesses the effect of oxytocin massage performed on Mrs. M with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, physical examination, documentation studies, literature studies, and giving questionnaires to patients before and after oxytocin piat. Results: After comprehensive obstetric care during pregnancy, childbirth, puerperium and neonates in Mrs. M with oxytocin massage for 15 minutes for 6 consecutive days there was an increase in breast milk production in postpartum mothers. Conclusion: The obstetric care that has been given to Mrs. M with oxytocin massage is useful in increasing breast milk production.
