EFFECT OF HYPROLA (HYPNOBREASTFEEDING AND LAVENDERAROMATHERAPY) ON BREAST MILK FLOW IN POSTPARTUM MOTHERS

Abstract

Breast milk is the optimal source of nutrition for infants; however, exclusive
breastfeeding rates in Indonesia remain suboptimal. One of the main
challenges during the early postpartum period is inadequate breast milk flow,
which is often associated with maternal anxiety and insufficient stimulation of
prolactin and oxytocin hormones. Non-pharmacological interventions
focusing on maternal relaxation may support lactation. This study aimed to
examine the effect of HYPROLA therapy, a combination of
hypnobreastfeeding and lavender aromatherapy, on breast milk flow in
postpartum mothers.This study employed a pre-experimental one-group
pretest–posttest design involving 15 postpartum mothers within 2–7 days after
delivery. Participants were selected using total sampling. HYPROLA therapy
was administered according to a standardized protocol. Breast milk flow was
assessed before and after the intervention using an observation sheet and
questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a
significance level of 0.05.The results showed a significant improvement in
breast milk flow following the intervention. Before HYPROLA therapy, only
13.3% of participants experienced smooth breast milk flow, whereas after the
intervention, 93.3% demonstrated smooth milk flow (p = 0.001).
In conclusion, HYPROLA therapy significantly improves breast mil
