Baby SPA application time: It is done regularly from the first month, at least once a month. The ideal time for application is the first six months. The water in the tub is prepared to be 33°C. The baby, whose clothes are taken off, wearing a waterproof diaper suitable for the tub and a neck ring, is taken into the tub. The application usually takes 10-15 minutes, depending on the baby's reactions to the water for the first time. After the parent and baby get used to the process, the time can be increased to 30 minutes. In this process, the baby's hands, abdomen, and legs are made to recognize the water and the baby's movements are monitored. Care is taken that the baby does not drink the water. After the application period is over, the baby is removed from the tub and dried with a towel. Finally, the baby is massaged for 10-15 minutes and dressed.
Massage can be applied to all age periods. Before starting the massage application in babies, some preparations are made. Ambient temperature (24-26 OC) is adjusted, it is regulated so that there is no airflow, dim light, and low noise levels are ensured. 1-2 towels, a soft cushion or massage table, baby oil lotion, clean diapers, and clean clothes are prepared for the massage. There is no standard time interval for the application of massage. It can be done at least one hour after the baby's feeding, at any time of the day when he is not stressed and sleeps. Massage application time is 15-30 minutes depending on the baby's reactions may vary between.
It is the control group in which no intervention was applied.
