Infant massage is a touch stimulation that has many benefits for the health and growth of infants, including increased weight gain, sleep quality, and emotional bonding between mother and baby.

The purpose of this community service activity is to provide practical knowledge and skills to mothers in Bunder Village about infant massage.

This activity was carried out on [Implementation Date, e.g.: August 18, 2024] at [Implementation Location, e.g.: Bunder Village Community Hall] involving [Number of Participants, e.g.: 35] mothers.
