Article Abstract
Background: Growth and development delays can occur in childhood under five years. Early stimulation is very important to help babies grow according to their age which can be done with baby massage. Increasing the skills of parents in learning baby massage is a main focus because parents are the closest people to babies. This initial research was conducted to determine the learning media needed by parents in learning baby massage.
Materials And Methods: A qualitative research with a phenomenological approach was used to explore the views of parents, providers/health workers, Information Technology (IT) experts, and media design experts. Focus group discussion (FGD) was used to obtain information from a number of samples taken by purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results: A total of 11 people consisting of four parents with babies aged 0-12 months, two IT experts, one media design expert, and four midwives involved in FGD. There was an agreement that an android application-based baby massage media was needed to include a baby massage video feature that was made every step of baby massage, starting with baby massage of the feet, hands, stomach, chest, face, and back. The baby massage application will be equipped with a baby massage feature that conveys the benefits of baby massage, massage instructions, diaries, and contact midwives.
Conclusion: Parents who have babies, midwives who are competent in the implementation of baby massage, IT experts, and media design experts agree to develop learning media for the baby massage based on android applications by developing six features and systems.

Touch facilitates newborns' self-regulation: Systematic review of multidimensional arousal outcomes.
Neurosci Biobehav Rev

Chair of Acoustics and Haptics, Centre for Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop (CeTI), Technische Universität Dresden, Germany.
During the first month of life, exchanges between newborns and caregivers focus on helping babies regulate their physiological and behavioural states. Touch and bodily contact play a special role in facilitating arousal regulation and are often used to promote bonding, support at-risk babies, and manage pain. Here, we systematically review the extant evidence on the effects of touch interventions for newborns, specifically focusing on self-regulation and arousal as outcome measures.

Background: In Europe, 1-2% of children are diagnosed with a peanut allergy. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a significant risk factor for food allergy development, with cutaneous allergen exposure playing a causative role in allergic sensitization, particularly in early childhood.
Objectives: To investigate the primary and secondary skin-to-skin transfer of peanut proteins and the impact of hand washing in reducing allergen transfer.

Additionally, it investigated whether intensified tactile stimulation of the infant through Shantala massage influences maternal PES. A quasi-experimental design with a matched control group was employed.
