The preliminary research sample in this study was taken from secondary data from postpartum mothers' notebooks of 95 respondents, some respondents stated that breast milk was irregular and did not know the benefits of oxytocin massage. Efforts that can be made to provide smooth breast milk for postpartum mothers are oxytocin massage performed by health workers or husbands. Purpose: To determine the relationship between the role of the husband and oxytocin massage on smooth breast milk flow in postpartum mothers. Method: Quantitative research with a Cross Sectional design, conducted at the Independent Practice of Midwife Semiyati, Muara Enim Regency on January 1 - May 31, 2025. The independent variables consisted of the role of the husband and oxytocin massage, while the dependent variable was smooth breast milk flow. The sampling technique used purposive sampling and data were analyzed using the chi square test. Results: The role of the husband is most involved in oxytocin massage as many as 63 respondents (66.3%) with a smooth breastfeeding category of 50 respondents (82.0%), while the husband is not involved in providing oxytocin massage, most of the breast milk is not smooth as many as 21 respondents (61.8%). The results of the statistical analysis obtained a p value of 0.000, meaning that there is a significant relationship between the role of the husband and oxytocin massage on the smoothness of breast milk in postpartum mothers. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the role of the husband and oxytocin massage on the smoothness of breast milk with a sig value (2-tailed) of 0.000 (<0.05). Suggestion: It is hoped that the role of the husband and oxytocin massage can continue to be utilized as an alternative therapy to increase the smoothness of breast milk in postpartum mothers. In addition, for further researchers, they can conduct similar studies with other variables that are suspected of being able to affect the smoothness of breast milk in postpartum mothers.   Keywords: Oxytocin Massage; Role of Husband; Smooth Breast Milk Flow.   Pendahuluan: Ibu nifas banyak mengalami keluhan, salah satunya adalah ketidaklancaran ASI.
