Postpartum is a period when the mother experiences a change in her role. Self care after delivery is related to nutrition, breastmilk and breastfeeding. COVID-19  can cause illness ranging from mild to severe symptoms. The Pandemic has made postpartum mothers experience anxiety, which can have an impact breastfeeding. The purpose was to determine the relationship between the anxiety of the COVID-19 pandemic and the amount of postpartum mother's breast milk at Kedungjajang Health Center, Lumajang. The design of this study was cross sectional with purposive sampling.  The samples were 41 respondents which was carried out on July 2022. This study was questionnaires and observation sheets.
