Abstract
The postnatal period begins after the birth of the baby and marks the end of pregnancy. Breastfeeding has been shown to be beneficial for both the mother and the baby’s health and well-being. Massaging with almond oil can help to stimulate the secretion of breast milk early postnatal period. A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of almond oil massage on breast milk secretion among postnatal mothers undergone LSCS in selected hospital. A Quasi experimental non-randomized control group design was used with the purposive sampling technique to select the samples of 60 postnatal mothers who satisfied the inclusive criteria for the study. Pretest level of breast milk secretion was assessed by using self structured breast milk adequacy checklist. Almond oil breast massage was given by the researcher for a period of 4 times a day for 4 days. The posttest was done using the same tool at the end of intervention. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The paired ‘t’ value for breast milk secretion is 15.22***, which is significant at p?0.05 and highly significant at p?0.01, p?0.001. The findings showed that almond oil massages was effective on the level of breast milk secretion among postnatal mothers
