## Abstract
BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding is an important process of providing optimal nutrition for infants, but implementing breastfeeding involves maternal psychological stress that affects the quality and production of breast milk. This study aimed to examine the differences in stress and satisfaction of breastfeeding mothers in the MRJ and MMS groups.METHODS: This research design uses analytic observations with a cohort study. The total sample was 59 samples divided into two groups, namely the administration group in the form of Royal Relly Enriched Moringa Leaf capsules (MRJ) (N.=31) and the Multiple Micronutrient Supplement (MMS) control group (N.=28). Measurements used Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS 42) to measure stress and Maternal Breastfeeding Evaluation Scale (MBFES) to measure breastfeeding mothers’ satisfaction.RESULTS: The characteristics of the respondents included low-risk breastfeeding mothers (84.74%), non-working breastfeeding mothers (98.3%), less income (66.1%), and good husband support (66.1%). The results showed that the MRJ group had lower stress levels based on the mean: 0.5±1.1 compared to the MMS group mean: 1.0±1.3 with a P value of 0.048 (P<0.05). Meanwhile, the measurement of breastfeeding satisfaction showed that the mean of the MRJ group was higher based on the mean: 116.7±3.2 compared to the MMS group mean: 114.3±3.7 with a P value of 0.004 (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the group given moringa capsules enriched with royal jelly.
