“…In children, breastfeeding is associated with a reduced risk of severe lower respiratory tract infections, atopic dermatitis, asthma, acute otitis media, nonspecific gastroenteritis, obesity, type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus, childhood leukemia, sudden infant death syndrome, and necrotizing enterocolitis. In mothers, breastfeeding is associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and maternal postpartum depression [52,53]. Additionally, many studies actually demonstrate a positive association of breastfeeding with improved cognitive abilities [54][55][56].…”

Although prenatal exposure to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is known to impart relatively higher risks of major congenital malformations, prospective studies have provided refined data that allow us to differentiate the risks of different types and doses of AEDs. As the number of AED prescriptions has dramatically increased in reproductive-aged women with a variety of neuropsychiatric indications, the evolving concepts learned from studies in women with epilepsy can be applied to a much larger group of pregnant women to improve child outcomes while maintaining maternal disease control. In addition to careful selection of the type of medication, the amount of fetal exposure at conception and in the first trimester probably matters across all AEDs. Some AED polytherapy regimens are not associated with a higher risk of malformations, although other outcomes have not yet been formally studied. The individual woman's drug target concentration should be established preconception and maintained during pregnancy, to prevent seizure worsening. Substantial pharmacokinetic changes occur with many of the medications during pregnancy and postpartum, and interindividual variability supports the use of therapeutic drug monitoring for most AEDs. During pregnancy, vigilance and close monitoring should also include intrauterine fetal growth, obstetric complications, and neonatal complications. Breastfeeding can provide additional neurodevelopmental benefit and should be an option for women on AEDs. Knowledge of these key principles enhances our ability to make treatment recommendations with resultant improved maternal and child outcomes. Additional prospective studies are needed to further define the risk-benefit ratio across a variety of medications, dosing strategies, and neuropsychiatric disorders.

“…(Lactation amenorrhea refers to the natural postpartum infertility that occurs when a woman is not menstruating). Exclusive breastfeeding has in fact shown to be an excellent form of birth control, but only when certain criteria are met (the breastfeeding must be frequently, intensively and within the first six months of initiation), [4].…”

“…The results of several studies show that breastfeeding has been able to provide mothers' psychological health protection because it is able to weaken the stress hormone (cortisol hormone). As a result, the more the mother breastfeeds the baby the more increasing the prolactine and oxytocin hormone and the more breast milk will be produced (Figueiredoa, 2013).…”

Background: The incidence of post-partum blues both in Indonesia and abroad has been quite high; the stress that post-partum mothers experience will inhibit breast milk production and, as a result, breastfeeding process should be stopped earlier. Hypnobreastfeeding relaxation and oxytocin massage have been a combination of therapy that might decrease the rate of Adenocorticotropic Hormon (ACTH) and that might assist hormone and prolactin secrection in order that breast milk production becomes fluent. This study then aimed at analyzing the optimization of the combination of oxytocin massage and hypnobreastfeeding in order to decrease anxiety and to improve breast milk production among post-partum mothers. Subjects and Method:This was an analytic experimental study with Randomized Control Trial (RCT) design. This study was conducted at Dr. Suradji Tirtonegoro Central General Hospital, Klaten, from January 25 th , 2017 until March 9 th , 2017. The population in this study was 200 postpartum mothers. A sample of 60 post-partum mothers was selected for this study and allocated into the intervention group (n1= 30) and the control group (n2= 30). The intervention group would be treated by the combination of oxytocin massage and hypnobreastfeeding. The dependent variables were anxiety and breast milk production. The independent variables were oxytocin massage and hypnobreastfeeding. The anxiety was measured by STAI scale. The breast milk production process was measured by checklist questionnaire. The breast milk production amount was measured by milking cups. The breast milk production between the two groups was tested by Mann-Whitney. Results: The anxiety scale in the intervention group was better and lower than that of the control group. The differences in terms of anxiety scale between the intervention group (median= 24.00; SD= 4.45) and the control group (median= 34.00; SD= 6.93) were statistically significant (p<0.001). Then, the differences in terms of breast milk production process between the intervention group (median= 9.00; SD= 1.66) and the control group (median= 8.00; SD= 1.56) were nearly significant (p<0.145). Furthermore, the differences in terms of breast milk production amount between the intervention group (median= 10.00; SD= 10.36) and the control group (median= 4.50; SD= 4.21) were statistically significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Combination of oxytocin massage and hypnobreastfeeding can effectively decreasing anxiety and increasing breast milk production for post-partum mothers.
