Abstract

The Family Planning program is an important strategy in reducing maternal and infant mortality rates through birth spacing. Although national Family Planning coverage is quite high, a common phenomenon is that many mothers do not immediately start Family Planning after giving birth. The community service program was implemented from February 2026 with 20 breastfeeding mothers as respondents at PMB Soraya, Palembang City. The implementation of community service was carried out as an effort to increase the knowledge and understanding of breastfeeding mothers about the Lactational Amenorrhea Method contraception so that it can improve the quality of health and the continuity of the nation's next generation by strengthening postpartum Family Planning services, especially for mothers who breastfeed their babies. This community service used lectures, question and answer methods, and discussions. The results of the community service implementation obtained a significant increase in knowledge among breastfeeding mothers after education based on pre- and post-test results, namely an average increase of 30 points. It is hoped that health education on the Lactational Amenorrhea Method can help breastfeeding mothers obtain information about one of the contraceptive methods that can be used without hindering exclusive breastfeeding in a more natural way, so that it is hoped that it can support family planning programs and increase the coverage of exclusive breastfeeding
