Methods: This study used quasi-experiment with post-test design only design and with a control group, conducted on 26 respondents with total sampling technique that fulfilled inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed with an independent t-test. Results: The results of the research showed that the difference between mean and treatment group was 282.31 and control group 218.08 was with p-value = 0.000 (< 0.05). Conclusion: This study recommends that patients independently perform breast acupressure and oxytocin massage
