Abstract
Infant and toddler massage is a form of stimulation that can provide significant benefits for child growth and development, including improved sleep quality, motor development, and emotional bonding between mother and child. However, many mothers still lack understanding of proper massage techniques and their scientifically proven benefits. This community service activity aims to improve mothers' knowledge and skills in performing infant and toddler massage through educational counseling and direct demonstration. The methods used in this program included the delivery of educational material on infant and toddler massage, interactive discussions, carry out a pre-test first, direct practice guided by trained health workers and evaluate by carrying out a post-test and hands-on practice guided by trained healthcare professionals. The activity was carried out in Sumber Jaya sub-district, Bengkulu City, in April 2025, involving 25 mothers with children aged 0–5 years. The results showed an increase in the mothers’ understanding and confidence in performing massage independently at home. It is hoped that the knowledge gained from this activity can be applied sustainably and contribute to optimizing child development at both the family and community levels.
