Key Findings at a Glance

• Significant Weight Gain for Preterm Infants
  Moderate-pressure massage has been shown to lead to an average daily weight gain of 63.04g in very low birth weight infants.¹

• Reduced Hospital Stays and Costs
  Improved weight gain and feeding tolerance are associated with 3–6 days shorter hospital stays, resulting in an estimated $10,000 saving per infant.²

• Effective Pain Management
  Multiple clinical trials report that massage significantly reduces procedural pain in hospitalised children, offering a valuable non-pharmacological intervention.³

• Benefits for Parents
  Parents who performed massage with their infants reported lower stress, anxiety, and depression, while gaining confidence and strengthening attachment.⁴
