<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Children are determinants of the future of the nation, need attention from an early age, especially the First 1000 Days of Life, the critical period of child development at the age of infancy to baduta (two-year-old babies) because at that age brain development is faster than the age after. (Kementrian Kesehatan RI, 2014). Preliminary studies conducted by researchers in several basic services in Mamuju Regency and Gorontalo city in 2019, growth and development detection activities in infants have not been maximized, babies who come to Posyandu only detect growth such as weight and body length, but detection of infant development has not been carried out. Developmental detection is carried out in Early Childhood Education or Kindergarten and when we interview visiting mothers, some mothers do not know how to detect and stimulate child growth and development in their Maternal and Child Health Books. Research on healthy babies has been done but is still limited to the impact of massage stimulation of healthy babies on development, in this study researchers heard murottal when massaged to provide comfort and sensory stimulation. This is in line with what was conveyed by Astri Lestari (Lestari, 2019) who stated that listening to murottal in autistic children can provide emotional calm. To determine the effect of infant massage stimulation and murottal on growth and development in infants aged 0-6 months in Mamuju regency and Gorontalo city. Type of quantitative research with quasi-experimental design approach. Research design using pre test and Post test with control group design. The study population was all infants aged 0-6 months in Mamuju and Gorontalo districts. Research samples of mothers and infants aged 0-6 months with a purposive sampling approach. There is an effect of baby massage accompanied by murottal on the growth of infant development at the age of 0-6 months. We concluded that there was a significant developmental difference between before the murottal massage intervention and after the murottal massage intervention.

Studi pendahuluan yang dilakukan peneliti di beberapa pelayanan dasar (posyandu) di Kabupaten Mamuju dan kota Gorontalo pada tahun 2019, kegiatan deteksi tumbuh kembang pada bayi belum maksimal, bayi yang datang di Posyandu hanya dilakukan deteksi Pertumbuhan seperti Berat Badan dan Panjang Badan, tapi deteksi perkembangan bayi belum dilakukan. Deteksi perkembangan dilakukan di PAUD atau TK (Taman Kanak kanak) dan saat kami lakukan wawanca pada Ibu yang berkunjung, sebagian Ibu belum tahu adanya cara deteksi dan stimulasi tumbuh Kembang Anak pada di Buku KIA (Kesehatan Ibu dan Anak) mereka. Penelitian terhadap bayi sehat sudah pernah dilakukan namun masih terbatas pada dampak stimulasi pijat bayi sehat terhadap perkembangan, pada penelitian ini peneliti memperdengarkan murottal saat dipijat untuk memberi rasa nyaman dan stimulasi sensorik.
