Often premature babies have trouble with feeding and coordinating their sucking and swallowing which can mean a longer process to achieve weight gains.

There is some evidence that massaged premature infants may have improved weight gain.

A review of 20 studies of over 1,200 premature infants evaluated the effect of massage on weight gain, with most showing an improvement.

Healthcare continues evolving to less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, recognizing the value of massage therapy as an aspect of wellness.
