Abstract
Breast milk is the best food source for the baby's growth and development. However, in practice, not all mothers provide exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months for various reasons, including the reduced of breast milk production. The relaxation method used is non-pharmacological therap. This study aims to determine the effect of Al-Quran Healing relaxation therapy on Letdown Reflex in breastfeeding mothers. This research method was a quasi-experimental one group pre-posttest design. Purposive non-probability sampling technique was used for sample selection. The research samples used were 15 breastfeeding mothers. The first data collection tool was a questionnaire on the demographic data of the respondents and the second was about the Letdown Reflex assessment. Al-Quran Healing therapy intervention was given for three days with a Letdown reflex assessment before and after the intervention administration. Letdown reflex assessment before the intervention showed that there were 5 respondents (33.3%) with a poor category and 10 respondents (66.7%) with a good category. After the intervention, it was found that all mothers, that were 15 respondents (100%), had a good Letdown reflex assessment. The results of the analysis showed a p-value of 0.001 (<0.005), which meant that there was an effect of giving Al-Quran Healing therapy on the frequency of Letdown Reflex. There was a difference between the letdown reflex before and after the intervention.
