Objective To investigate influence of touching and massage on physical growth and neurobehavioral development of infants aged 42 days old, so as to provide reference for performing early education for children aged 0 to 3 years old. Methods The infants were divided into two groups randomly： experimental group and control group. The infants in the experimental group received touching and soft skin massage since the first day after birth, while the infants in the control group didn＇ t receive any intervention. 42 days later, all infants in the two groups were examined for physical growth and behavioral development. Results The increments in length and weight of infants in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group and there were significant differences between the two groups （both P 〈 0.05 ）. In behavioral development such as raising their head at prone position, smile to the examiner and vocalization, the infants in the experimental group were better than those in the control group （ all P 〈 0.05）. Conclusion Touching and skin massage can accelerate infants＇ physical growth and neurobehavioral development.
