ABSTRACT:

Every breastfeeding mother needs adequate sleep to maintain the quantity of breast milk produced. According to WHO, breastfeeding mothers need sleep breaks to avoid fatigue, stress, mood disorders, appetite disorders, and lack of concentration. Sleep problems and elimination patterns often affect the viability of breastfeeding mothers. Some experts recommend consuming lemongrass and lemon to improve sleep and elimination patterns. This research method is Quasi experiment with Case-control design. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of lemongrass and lemon on sleep quality and elimination patterns of post partum mothers. The results of data analysis using Chi-square showed that there was a relationship between the benefits of lemongrass and lemon drinks given with sleep quality and elimination patterns in postpartum mothers. This is evidenced by the mean value before and after being given herbal drinks. Where the mean value on sleep quality increased by 0.70 points while in the elimination pattern there was a mean increase of 0.67 points. Based on the results of the dependent T test, both variables obtained a p-value of 0.0001 or p < 0.05.
