Subject
Knowledge; Mother during postpartum period
Description
Breast care during breastfeeding aims to keep the breasts clean and easy for the baby to suckle. Therefore, breast care prevents breast infections such as mastitis (mammary infection). The most common infectious disease in the breast is supernal mastitis (Yuptia, 2023). Based on WHO (World Health Organization) data, 17,230,142 mothers in the world experience breast problems while breastfeeding. There are around 22.5% mothers who experience nipple problems, 18% experience breast milk that does not come out normally or is not smooth, and around 38% mothers experience swelling and pain in the breasts. As a result of these problems, babies who should get breast milk are often not breastfed and are only given formula milk (Riani, 2022). This study examines the influence of postpartum mothers’ knowledge regarding breast care on the success of breastfeeding at the Fahrini Amin Clinic, Blangpidie District, Southwest Aceh Province in 2025. This research employs an observational analytical approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design, where measurements were taken before and after the intervention. The population in this study included mothers who underwent postpartum after giving birth in the last six months, totaling 30 people. Sampling was conducted using a total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the paired sample T-test, to see if there was a comparison before and after being given prenatal attention and the mean difference between pretest and post-test was obtained. The study’s findings indicated that postpartum mothers’ knowledge regarding breast care had an impact on the success of breastfeeding at the Fahrini Amin Clinic, Blangpidie District, Southwest Aceh Regency, Aceh Province in 2025. Postpartum mothers who have good knowledge about breast care tend to succeed in breastfeeding because they have information about the importance of caring for the breasts to support smooth breast milk production.
