physiologic effect to the body. Massage stimulation that was given by the mothers to
their newborn infant may promote maternal-infant bonding and attachment, enhanced
weight gain and stimulate the production of breast milk. There were only few studies

research aims to examine the effect of massage stimulation on the weight gain of
aterm infants.

four weeks periode. Massage stimulation was provided to 30 aterm infants and their

used to analyze the data with level of confidence α = 0.05.
The median weight gain of infants who received massage stimulation (1 230
gram) were significantly different compared to the control group (830 gram) with P
value 0.028. This research revealed that aterm infants who got massage stimulation
once daily for four weeks periode had significantly weight gain compared to the
