Infant Massage for Preterm Babees
Yes, there is sufficient and recent evidence that supports infant massage to have beneficial effects on preterm infants in and discharged from the NICU, including shorter length of stay; reduced pain; and improved weight gain, feeding tolerance, and neurodevelopment. Parents who performed massage with their infants in the NICU reported experiencing less stress, anxiety, and depression.
Neonatal Intensive Care Units are subject both to a highly stressful environment ‐ continuous, high‐intensity noise and bright light ‐ and to a lack of the tactile stimulation that they would otherwise experience in the womb or in general mothering care. As infant massage seems to both decrease stress and provide tactile stimulation, it has been recommended as an intervention to promote growth and development of preterm and low‐birth weight infants.
A study done by the National Institute of Health, found "when compared to babies who were not touched, babies receiving massage, but not "still, gentle touch", gained more weight each day (about 5 grams). They spent less time in hospital, had slightly better scores on developmental tests and had slightly fewer postnatal complications. The studies did not show any negative effects of massage. Massage is time consuming for nurses to provide, but parents can perform home based massage therapy without extensive training."
