<![CDATA[Infant growth and sleep quality are crucial indicators of early development and overall wellbeing. Inadequate weight gain and poor sleep can negatively impact physical and neurobehavioral outcomes. This study aimed to examine the effect of combining infant massage with Mozart classical music on body weight and sleep quality of infants at Ariyana Maternity Hospital. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design was employed involving 30 healthy full-term infants, divided equally into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received daily massage sessions combined with Mozart music for 15–20 minutes over two weeks, while the control group received standard care without additional stimulation.

Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests with SPSS.]]>
