Keywords:
Baby Health, Baby MassageAbstract
Infant massage, a touch therapy, instills a sense of security and aids in growth and development. Regular massages elevate catecholamine hormones, fostering overall well-being and reducing sleep disorders. This therapy involves parents and family members, fostering emotional bonds. Quality sleep is crucial for a baby's brain development. Non-pharmacological approaches, like infant massage, prove effective in enhancing sleep, concentration, and immunity. The massage employs gentle full-body movements, establishing secure communication between mother and baby, stimulating growth, and providing a sense of safety through touch. A study conducted in Babakan Village, Cibeureum Hilir Health Center, Sukabumi City, aimed to improve infant health by implementing massage. The interview-based research involved 40 mothers and 4 health workers, showcasing increased knowledge and application of infant massage techniques. The event occurred on July 21, 2022. Conclusively, mothers demonstrated enhanced skills in infant massage, highlighting the role of health education in collaboration with health workers to promote nutritional practices and massage for infants and toddlers.
