Method: This study employs a quasi-experimental research design with a nonequivalent control group. The sample consists of 40 postpartum mothers who were selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis is conducted using the Mann-Whitney test to determine the impact of the marmet technique on breast milk expression. Results: The statistical analysis, conducted using the Mann-Whitney test, yielded a p-value of 0.005 (p<0.05), indicating the rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho). This result implies that the marmet technique has a significant effect on improving the smoothness of breast milk expression in postpartum mothers at the Abiansemal I Public Health Center.
