Non-expedite milk production can cause the baby to not get enough milk so that it can inhibit the growth and development of the baby. Based on the data of Baseline Health Research (henceforth, Riskesdas) in 2018, the percentage of babies under the age of 6 months who received exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia was 37.3%. Moreover, based on the data from the Gorontalo Public Health Office in 2018, infants aged below 6 months who received exclusive breastfeeding were only 46.9%, and the lowest in Gorontalo was in Community Health Center/PuskesmasKota Selatan.This study aimed to analyze the effect of Loraja tea consumption in increasing breast milk production in nursing mothers in the research area. It employed a quasi-experimental study with a nonequivalent control group design. The population was amounted to 120 people with a sample of 90 people taken by a stratified random sampling technique. It used paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. Further, the independent variable was Loraja tea consumption and the dependent variable was the increase in milk production in nursing mothers.The result showed that the average value of the infant urination frequency data analysis after Loraja tea provision in the intervention group was 2.267 with a standard deviation of 1.668. Meanwhile on the frequency of breastfeeding the infants was 2.467 with a standard deviation of 1.457. Moreover, the results of paired sample t-tests for the frequency of infant urination indicated a significant value = 0,001 (p <0.05), meaning that Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted. Further, the results of the paired sample t-test for the frequency of breastfeeding infants showed a significant value = 0,001 (p < 0.05), indicating that Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted.Accordingly, Corn Silk Tea consumption affected the increase in breast milk production on nursing mothers in the working area of the Puskesmas(Community Health Center) Kota Selatan of Gorontalo.
