Globally, stunting has reached 149.2 million.
Exclusive breastfeeding can protect children
from stunting. Consuming soybeans can increase
breast milk production, which contains
isoflavone. Moreover, dates are one of the natural
galactagogues. The study analyzed the effect of
giving soy date milk on breast milk production in
postpartum at Loa Kulu Health Center in 2023
th
.
The research method is a quasi-experiment with
a pre-post-test control group. Sampling uses
purposive sampling. Based on the independent
sample t-test used for control and experimental
groups, we obtained a Pvalue 0.000 (Pvalue < α)
that can be concluded that date soy milk affects
breast milk production in postpartum at Loa
Kulu Health Care Center in 2023. Isoflavones in
soy milk will bind with α-estrogen receptors.
Estradiol is the largest regulator for prolactin
secretion, which plays a role in breast milk. Dates
have a phytoestrogen, which exerts pressure on
dopamine while stimulating the secretion of
oxytocin and releasing breast milk. Producing
date soy milk can be an economical alternative to
increase milk production
