Knowledge and Behavior regarding Consumption of Herbal Galactagogues among Breastfeeding Women in Mataram City

---

Mataram city occupied the region with the lowest coverage of
exclusive breastfeeding in West Nusa Tenggara in 2022. One of the
causes of the failure of exclusive breastfeeding is the lack of breast
milk production. Galactagogues are substances that can increase
breast milk production. A relatively safe alternative to support breast
milk production is to consume herbs containing galactagogues. It is
essential to trace local culture, knowledge, and behavior regarding
herbal galactagogues to get insight into the types of galactagogues,
their properties as well as side effects. Scientific studies are required
to be used as a reference for breastfeeding women. This study aims
to describe knowledge and behavior of breastfeeding women
regarding the consumption of galactagogues. The study applied
mixed-method design with a cross-sectional approach to conduct a
survey on knowledge and behavior regarding consumption of herbal
galactagogues. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to
respondents who were selected based on inclusion criteria, namely
breastfeeding women with children aged 0 to 6 months, domiciled in
the city of Mataram and registered at the Community Health Center
in the city of Mataram, as many as 124 people. It was found that
most of respondent had a poor level of knowledge by 62.1%, while
37.1% of them had good consumption behavior of herbal
galactagogues. It can be concluded that generally, the people of
Mataram City consumed herbal galactagogues more often based on
empirical evidence from generation to generation. Thus, additional
information regarding variations of other herbal galactagogues is
required to support exclusive breastfeeding coverage.
