Abstract

Preterm infants (n = 51) received massage therapy in the NICU by their mothers or a female researcher, or no massage (controls). At 3 months, mothers of massaged infants were less intrusive, interactions were more reciprocal, and treated infants were more socially involved compared to controls.
