Perbedaan Pemberian Susu Kedelai Dan Sari Kacang Hijau Terhadap Peningkatan Produksi ASI Pada Ibu Menyusui Di Puskesmas Cimanggu Kabupaten Pandeglang Banten

Abstract

Introduction: Cimanggu Health Center, Pandeglang Regency, Banten, exclusive breastfeeding coverage in 2021 is 56%, thus this achievement is still below the target, which is less than 80%. There are several reasons for the low level of exclusive breastfeeding, one of which is the mother feels that her milk is not sufficient for the baby's needs. If the baby is not given exclusive breastfeeding, it can cause adverse effects on the baby, including stunting, less than optimal growth and development of the baby, and other health problems in the baby. One of the main obstacles is the production of breast milk which is not smooth. One way to increase breast milk production is by consuming soy milk or mung bean juice. Methods: The research method is a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group design, the number of samples is 60 respondents, and the sampling technique is purposive sampling. The research instrument used a questionnaire. Data is primary data analyzed using an independent sample t-test. Results: The results of the study of breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers before giving soy milk increased by 73,3% before increasing to 96,7%. Breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers before giving mung bean juice increased by 70,0% before increasing to 100%. The results of the bivariate analysis presented soy milk and mung bean juice to increase breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers with a p-value of 0,952. Discussion: The conclusion is that there is no significant difference between giving soy milk and mung bean juice to increase breast milk production in breastfeeding mothers. Giving soy milk and mung bean juice can both increase breast milk production. It is expected that breastfeeding mothers can consume soy milk or mung bean juice regularly during breastfeeding in order to increase milk production so that babies get exclusive breastfeeding.
