The data sources used are in the form of published articles from Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Scopus with the keywords herbal, katuk leaves and breast milk. There were 5 articles that met the inclusion criteria and then data synthesis was carried out. Results: Katuk leaves are known in traditional medicine as a medicine to increase breast milk because the compounds contained in katuk leaf extract have the potential to stimulate the hormones oxytocin and prolactin can stimulate and increase milk production. Conclusion: Katuk leaves can have a positive effect on breast milk production, so a postpartum mother can be advised to consume katuk leaf decoction or katuk leaf extract if she has problems with non-fluent breastfeeding.
