ASI merupakan makanan terbaik dan memiliki komposisi yang tepat serta seimbang bagi bayi, sehingga setiap bayi dianjurkan untuk diberikan ASI Ekslusif selama 6 bulan pertama. Kelancaran produksi dan pengeluaran ASI merupakan salah satu faktor utama keberhasilan ASI Eksklusif. Begitu juga di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Muara Tembesi, dimana di tahun 2022 tercatat 9,5% bayi tidak diberikan ASI Ekslusif karena permasalahan ketidaklancaran ASI. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeahui efektivitas woolwich massage terhadap kelancaran ASI pada ibu menyusui. Jenis penelitian ini adalahl quasy experiment dengan pendekatan one group pre test post test design yang telah dilakukan pada bulan November 2023 di wilayah kerja Puskesma Muara Tembesi dengan populasi sebanyak 180 ibu menyusui. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik purposive sampling dengan besaran sampel sebanyak 10 responden. Pengumpulan data menggunakan lembar observasi kelancaran ASI. Analisis data meliputi analisis univariat dan bivariat menggunakan paired t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata skor kelancaran ASI pre test adalah 25,5 dan meningkat menjadi 35,7 setelah 3 hari intervensi. Terdapat perbedaan rata-rata skor kelancaran ASI antara sebelum dan sesudah intervensi dengan beda rata-rata 10,2 (p = 0,000). Disimpulkan bahwa woolwich massage efektif terhadap peningkatan kelancaran ASI pada ibu menyusui. Diharapkan kepada petugas kesehatan untuk dapat memberikan edukasi dan pelatihan woolwich massage pada ibu menyusui sebagai salah satu upaya peningkatan cakupan ASI Eksklusif.

Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of an infant's life yields positive benefits for their future. The highest failure in breastfeeding typically occurs in the initial days postpartum due to low breast milk production. In the operational area of Muara Tembesi Health Center in 2022, records indicate that out of 180 infants, only 163 received exclusive breastfeeding. The remainder did not, primarily due to factors such as irregular milk flow. Various methods can enhance breast milk production, including boiling fenugreek leaves, preparing turmeric concoctions, consuming soy-based products, or engaging in breastcare practices such as the Woolwich massage. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of the Woolwich massage in facilitating breast milk production among breastfeeding mothers in the Muara Tembesi Health Center's operational area in Jambi. The study adopts a Quasi-Experimental design with a one-group pre-test post-test approach conducted in November 2023. The target population consists of all breastfeeding mothers in the Muara Tembesi Health Center's operational area, totaling 180 infants. Purposive sampling was used, resulting in a sample size of 10 respondents. Data were collected through observation sheets, and univariate and bivariate analyses were employed for data analysis. The findings reveal that the average score for breast milk production smoothness before Woolwichmassage intervention was 25.5, while the average score after the intervention was 35.7. A significant difference was observed in the average scores of breast milk production before and after the Woolwich massage intervention, with a mean difference of 10.2 and a p-value of 0.000. In conclusion, there is a notable difference in breast milk production before and after Woolwich massage intervention, indicating a significant impact on breastfeeding mothers' milk production.
