Results: The results of the Wilcoxon test obtained a p value = 0.001 for the ejection of breast milk in the rolling massage where <0.05 which means there is an effect on milk ejection. The results of the Wilcoxon test obtained a p value = 0.001 for the ejection of breast milk in the warm compress technique where <0.05 which means there is an effect on milk ejection.
