Breast milk is the optimal source of nutrition for infants as it contains essential nutrients and antibodies that support growth, development, and immune system. Therefore, exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life is strongly recommended. However, the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding has not yet achieved the expected target. One contributing factor is insufficient breast milk expression, which may result from inadequate stimulation of the prolactin and oxytocin hormones responsible for lactation. This condition may lead to breastfeeding difficulties, increase the risk of maternal and infant complications, and contribute to the early introduction of formula feeding. One non-pharmacological intervention that can be used to address this problem is the Marmet Technique, a manual breast massage and expression method designed to stimulate the release of prolactin and oxytocin hormones and improve milk flow. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Marmet Technique on breast milk expression among breastfeeding mothers. This study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The research was conducted in the service area of the Indralaya Community Health Center. A total of 33 breastfeeding mothers experiencing inadequate breast milk expression were recruited using a purposive sampling technique. Breast milk expression was assessed before and after the intervention using a structured breast milk flow questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Marginal Homogeneity Test with a significance level of a < 0.05. The findings indicated an improvement in breast milk expression following the application of the Marmet Technique, with a p-value < 0.05, demonstrating a statistically significant difference between pre-intervention and post-intervention measurements. In conclusion, the Marmet Technique significantly improves breast milk expression among breastfeeding mothers and may be recommended as an independent nursing intervention to support the successful implementation of exclusive breastfeeding.
