This type of research was a quasi-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest and the data were analyzed by univariate and bivariate analysis. The research was conducted in December 2021 by way of treatment. The population in this study were all breastfeeding mothers who were breastfeeding from infants 0-3 weeks in the HiangCommunity Health Center, Kerinci Regency.
