Efforts to overcome this include improving the quality of breast milk. There are many ways that can be done to facilitate breast milk, including consuming Moringa leaves and sweet potato leaves because they contain phytosterols which can increase breast milk production. To determine the comparison of giving Moringa leaves and sweet potato leaves to increase breast milk production and baby weight at the UPTD Cijaku Inpatient Health Center, Lebak Regency in 2024. quasi-experimental with a two group pretest-posttest design.

Bivariate analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann-Whitney test. The research results showed the effect of giving Moringa leaves on increasing breast milk production (p value = 0.001) and baby weight (p value = 0.000). There was an effect of giving sweet potato leaves on increasing breast milk production (p value = 0.001) and baby weight (p value = 0.001). There was a difference in the effect of giving Moringa leaves and sweet potato leaves on increasing breast milk production (p value = 0.037) and baby weight (p value = 0.045).
