Abstract

One of the causes of high bleeding rate is involute uterine process which is not running properly. Mothers who initiate breastfeeding early will accelerate uterine involution due to the influence of the hormone oxytocin which can increase uterine contractions. The type of research is Quasi Experimental. The population are all post partum mothers with a total sample of 20 people with accidental sampling technique using the independent sample t-test. The results of this study indicate that the mean height of uterine fundus mothers who have an EBI is 9.70 cm and those who do not do an EBI 11.20 cm, thus the EBI is effective in accelerating the process of uterine involution. Furthermore, it is expected for health workers to implement early breastfeeding initiation as a permanent procedure in the management of post partum mothers.
