<![CDATA[A 3-month-old baby is a baby who needs a lot of breast milk assistance to support his growth and development. In supporting the growth and development in question, there are many ways or efforts that can be carried out by midwives, especially in increasing the baby's weight at the age of 3 months, one of which is by doing massage. The purpose of this study is to find out whether or not there is an effect of massage on the weight of 3-month-old babies at UIT Tourism Hospital Makassar City. The type of research used is Quasy Experimental (Pseudo-Experiment) using Pretest and Posttest Experiments and Control with sampling techniques using Purposive Sampling. Based on the results of statistical tests on infants who were sampled, namely 20 babies aged 3 months using paired T test with ? = 0.05, t count (11.005) > t table (1,729) were obtained. So it can be concluded that there is an effect of massage on 3-month-old babies on weight gain. All 3-month-old babies in the study sample experienced weight gain, but the difference in weight gain in the intervention group was greater than in the control group.]]>
