Colostrum, the first breast milk, contains IgA antibodies, proteins, vitamin A, and anti-infection components that are essential for building the baby's immunity, especially against gastrointestinal infections such as diarrhea. The production of colostrum varies between mothers and is influenced by the frequency and strength of the baby's sucking in the early days. Oxytocin massage on the back can stimulate oxytocin and prolactin hormones, aiding the release and increasing the production of breast milk, as well as providing a relaxing effect on the mother. This method can improve the breastfeeding process. The goal of this community service is to explain the benefits of colostrum as a source of immunity for the baby through IgA antibodies and essential nutrients, as well as to demonstrate oxytocin massage as an effective method to enhance milk release and production. The method used is a lecture with leaflet media, which is effective for delivering information. The results show that many postpartum mothers do not understand the benefits of oxytocin massage, which can hinder milk release. Counseling through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, leaflets, and educational videos successfully increased mothers' understanding of oxytocin massage, which can help with relaxation, support uterine involution, and improve milk production and release. This knowledge is expected to be applied in postpartum breastfeeding practices.

Karangtalun Village, located in Kalidawir District, Tulungagung Regency, East Java, has significant potential for developing Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) to support community-based health practices. However, the utilization of TOGA in daily health care remains limited due to a lack of knowledge and practical skills among residents. At the same time, the community faces a growing social challenge—digital exposure among young children, which negatively affects their physical, psychological, and social well-being. To address these issues, a capacity-building program was implemented for women involved in the Integrated Guidance Post (Posbindu) through training on TOGA cultivation and digital literacy education using the Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach. This participatory model actively engaged community members in the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. The program results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of TOGA as an alternative for self-care and traditional medicine, greater awareness of the adverse effects of excessive gadget use among children, and positive behavioral changes in parenting, such as setting screen-time limits and replacing gadget use with creative family activities. These findings demonstrate that integrating local wisdom–based education with digital literacy can effectively strengthen family resilience and promote sustainable well-being in the digital era.

Household waste management is a significant challenge in creating clean, healthy, and sustainable residential areas. Dependence on manual monitoring methods often leads to delays in waste collection, waste pile-ups, and operational inefficiencies. This community service program implements a Smart Trash Monitoring Sistem (STMS) based on the Internet of Things (IoT) in Graha Panyindangan Estate, Indramayu. The system utilizes ultrasonic sensors and ESP32 to detect waste levels and sends real-time data to a dashboard accessible by residents and cleaning staff. The results of implementing STMS show improved efficiency in waste management, with waste collection being carried out on time based on accurate, real-time data. This system also reduces the need for manual inspections and encourages responsible waste management behavior among residents. In addition to technical benefits, there have been social changes, such as increased environmental awareness and the formation of new social norms within the community. The involvement of local leaders in supporting the system’s sustainability further strengthens the implementation of the smart living concept, resulting in a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable residential environment in the long term.
