Touch is an essential element in the healthy growth and development of the baby. Infant massage is the best way to touch babies. In line with the literature review on the subject, it has been reported that infant massage supports growth and development in infants, improves attachment between mothers and babies and decreases the level of depression and anxiety in mothers. With the coronavirus pandemic, quarantine decisions have been implemented all over the world. In addition to the stress brought on by their new roles, new mothers have to cope with the anxiety and stress of being a parent and babysitting during the pandemic period. During the pandemic process, it is seen that depression and anxiety levels increase in mothers who have given birth, and maternal attachment is negatively affected. Depression and anxiety in mothers negatively affect the cognitive, physical, social and emotional development of babies. It is very important to encourage practices that increase mother-infant interaction, such as infant massage, during the pandemic period. The universe of the research will consist of mothers and their babies who were followed up in İzmir Karşıyaka No. 8 Gülay Kaymak Family Health Center and Karşıyaka No. 4 Bostanlı-2 Family Health Center between May 2021 and May 2022. The sample of the study is 38-42. It is planned to create babies born in the 4th week of pregnancy, with a birth weight of over 2500 grams and who have completed their fourth week (one month old) (n:60).

Primary | Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI) | The MAI is a 26-item self-report questionnaire used to measure mother-child attachment. Each item represents a maternal activity (e.g. 'I tell others about my baby') or feeling (e.g. 'I feel love for my child') which indicates affection towards the child. Items are scored on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (almost never)-4 (almost always). Total MAI scores range from 26-104, with higher scores indicating greater maternal attachment. The mean score of mother attachment inventory (pre-intervention assessment) | end of week 4 | |

Secondary | Pharis Self-Confidence | The Pharis Self-Confidence Scale, which is a 13-item five-point measurement tool, measures a parent's feelings of self-confidence about daily baby care. Each infant care item is rated from 1 to 5 (not at all, very little, moderately, very much, completely). The increase in the total score obtained from the scale indicates that the self-confidence levels of the mothers increase in baby care. The lowest score on the "Pharis Self-Confidence" scale is 13, the highest score is 65.The mean score of pharis self-confidence (pre-intervention assessment) | end of week 4 | |
