Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate Postpartum Supportive Care (PSC) on breastfeeding in mother with twins. Method: One of the evidence-based nursing practice (EBNP) that can be applied to minimize risks to mothers and babies is postpartum supportive care (PSC). The EBNP was applied to five postpartum mothers with twins during hospitalization. PSC were carried out by providing physical support in the form of breast care and oxytocin massage, psychological support in the form of relaxation techniques, information support in the form of education, and advocacy support in the form of husband involvement. We used LATCH Score to evaluate breastfeeding effectiveness. Result: This method was effective for postpartum mothers with twins in breastfeeding effectiveness. Conclusion: PSC can be used for increasing breastfeeding effectiveness in postpartum mother with twins. Families, especially husbands, were advised to continue providing care support through the roles division at home.
