The importance of breastfeeding has strong evidence.
Complementary therapy that can increase milk production is to
increase comfort and body fitness by using herbal steam baths.
This is local wisdom that is still preserved in Indonesia as a
therapy for postpartum mothers with water vapor. Another similar
alternative is endorphin massage, which is a light touch therapy
on the neck, back and arms that can trigger the release of
endorphins that affect milk production. The purpose of this study
was to estimate that the combination of the two methods would
be more effective in influencing breast milk production. This
research design is a quasi-experimental. The population in this
study were postpartum mothers at the Independent Practice
Midwife in Surabaya with a total sample of 40 which were
divided into treatment and control groups, using purposive
sampling technique. The treatment group was given intervention
with a combination of herbal steam baths 2x/week for 5-20
minutes and endorphin massage 2x/week for 20 minutes, while
the control group was not given. Each group was given a pre-test
and post-test to determine the volume of breast milk production
with indicators of increased baby weight, increased frequency of
urination and defecation. Statistical test using Mann Whitney and
Shapiro Wilk. The results showed that there was a significant
effect of the combination of herbal steam baths and endorphin
