The methods used include counseling, screening educational videos, and direct practice of baby massage using olive oil and Quran recitation. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test, post-test, and observation of participants' practical skills. This activity involved 25 mothers who have babies aged 0–12 months. The results of the activity showed an increase in mothers' knowledge from the poor category of 72% to the satisfactory category of 80%. As many as 92% of participants were able to independently and correctly practice baby massage techniques. Additionally, mothers reported that their babies became calmer and their sleep quality improved after regular massages.
