Babies who do not get enough sleep will have their immune system lowered so that they are susceptible to disease. In addition, growth hormones will be disrupted, so that the baby's growth will also be disrupted. Efforts that can be used to meet the need for sleep in infants have developed, one of which is by combining baby massage with lullaby music therapy. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of infant massage and music therapy on the quality of sleep on infants.
