One way to increase milk production for post partum mothers is to support the nutritional needs of mothers, one of which is by consuming soy milk made from soy beans. This study aims to determine the effec tof soymilk (Glycine Max) on breast milk production in post partum mothers at Bakti Timah Hospital Karimun Riau Archipelgo.
