Abstract

Breast milk is the best food a baby needs in the first 6 months of life. Prolactin hormone plays a role in the process of milk formation and oxytocin hormone plays a role in the process of milk ejection. How the oxytocin hormone works is affected by psychology, stress, excessive worry and unhappiness. The Stimulation of Endorphin and Oxytocin Massage (SPEOS) method is a combination of endorphin, oxytocin, and suggestive massage stimulation performed sequentially. The role of the pituitary is to release endorphins from the body, the effect resembles heroin and morphine, besides giving aromatherapy also greatly helps the production of breast milk because it is very calming. The purpose of this PKM is to increase the knowledge of breastfeeding mothers and increase the role of husbands as a support system in breastfeeding.  The preparation stage is carried out during the assessment and approach.
