ROMPI PIJAT UNTUK LAKTASI DENGAN INOVASI POMPA ASI

Mothers who have just given birth will usually have difficulty in breastfeeding their babies because
the milk that comes out is little or is not smooth. The hormones that play a role in the production of
breast milk are the hormones prolactin and oxytocin when stimulation of the alveoli cells in the breast
glands contracts, with the contraction causing milk to come out and flow into the small breast
channels so that milk drops come out of the nipple and enter the baby's mouth which is called the
baby's mouth. let down reflex. Warm compresses on the breast using a fibric heater and for the
massager using vibration as a massage method on the breast area and the motor used is a 5VDC
motor. In the vest, there is also an electric breast pump that can be used after all therapy has been
carried out. The purpose of the study was to design a massage vest for lactation with the innovation of
a breast pump as a means of smoothing breast milk in postpartum mothers. The massage vest therapy
device for lactation with this breast pump innovation is attached to the mother's breast and massages
it. The results are expected to facilitate breastfeeding in mothers. From the results of the tool function
tests that have been carried out, the results of timer measurements, measurements of the number of
lactation massage vibrations, heater measurements, pressure measurements on breast pumps, and
vibration frequency measurements are obtained.
