Breast milk is the only perfect and best food for babies, because it contains the nutritional elements needed by babies for infant growth and development in order to achieve optimal baby growth and development. The reality in the field is that there are still many mothers who experience obstacles/constraints to exclusively breastfeed their babies for 6 full months, even though breastfeeding is a natural condition. One solution that can help overcome barriers to exclusive breastfeeding is hypnobreastfeeding. The purpose of this community service is to increase mother's knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding and mother's confidence to be able to meet the adequacy of breastfeeding through Hypnobreastfeeding techniques in infants as an effort to increase milk production and expenditure The methods used in this Community Service activity are lectures, questions and answers, demonstrations and practices carried out by the instructor and assignments carried out by postpartum mothers who gave birth at the Independent Practice Midwife Risma as many as 15 people. The implementation of Hypnobreastfeeding activities is carried out routinely every day 5 (five) times a week by listening to Hypnobreastfeeding audio recordings for ± 30 minutes, carried out independently by the participants. The results obtained provided enormous benefits for the participants, including they felt that the baby was not fussy, slept soundly, urinated more than 6 times a day and the baby's weight increased. From this activity, it can be concluded that through counseling activities, demonstrations of correct breastfeeding methods/techniques and Hypnobreastfeeding, it can increase knowledge, skills and increase production of breast milk production and fulfill breast milk adequacy in mothers who breastfeed babies aged 3 months at the Independent Practice of Midwife Risma.
