Breast milk contains nutritional components and antibodies that are important for the development, immunity and long-term health of babies. However, not all babies get breast milk from their mothers. This can be caused by low breast milk production and irregular breast milk release. Warm compresses are one method of stimulating breast muscles that can increase breast milk production. The type of research used is a quasi-experimental one group pretest posttest. The study population was all postpartum mothers in the PMB Lismarini area with low breast milk production problems. The sampling technique in this study used purposive sampling. Warm compresses were carried out for 7 days with a duration of 10-15 minutes before breastfeeding. The statistical test used was Wilcoxon. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a p value of 0.003 ≤ 0.05, which means that there is an effect of warm breast compresses on the smoothness of breast milk release. It is expected that health workers will increase educational activities related to the management of irregular breast milk release, one of which is the warm compress method.  

Colostrum is a component of breast milk in the form of a golden yellow liquid secreted by the mother from the first to the third day after giving birth. Colostrum contains 10-17 times more immune substances than mature milk, so it is very important to help form antibodies in newborn babies (Mardalena, 2017). According to WHO, the production and quality of breast milk is not affected by the nutritional condition of the mother unless the mother experiences extreme malnutrition. This could be a reason to support mothers to continue breastfeeding their newborn babies in emergency situations. (RI Ministry of Health, 2018) stated this information. WHO and UNICEF support exclusive breastfeeding through early initiation of breastfeeding within the first hour after birth, exclusive breastfeeding without giving any food or drink including water, feeding according to the newborn's desire both in the morning and evening, and avoiding the use of bottles, pacifiers , and teas (Ministry of Health, 2018). This study is an analytical research with a cross-sectional study design used to determine the RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDES OF POSTPARTUM MOTHERS TOWARDS THE PROVISION OF COLOSTRUM TO NEWBORN BABIES AT PMB ROSA HULU NIAS SOUTH NORTH SUMATRA PROVINCE IN 2024. Research shows that colostrum has a significant impact on Newborns (p= 0.006). There is a significant relationship between family support and giving colostrum to newborns (p= 0.001). Mothers of Newborns are advised to seek information about giving colostrum or breast milk to Newborns through various sources such as electronic media, social media, and health workers to increase their knowledge. Provide training to health staff at the Eninta clinic to increase promotion of giving colostrum to Newborns, so that mothers and families have better knowledge about the importance of colostrum.

Postpartum care is needed during this period because it is a critical period for both mother and baby. It is estimated that 60% of maternal deaths due to pregnancy occur after delivery and 50% of postpartum deaths occur within the first 24 hours. Postpartum care is carried out to reduce maternal mortality because the postpartum period is a critical period that needs monitoring.
