Topical massage with natural oil is routinely practiced in some country. The positive effects of massage are weight gain, improved sleep/wake pattern, decreased the stress, early discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), improve the skin integrity and enhanced parent's infant bonding.

In the intervention group, mothers will be encouraged to massage their babies with 10 ml of olive oil for 15 min, twice a day until 10 days of life. Those allocated to the control group were received care as usual. Weight and head circumference was measured at enrolment, after 10 days and on 30 days of age in both the groups. Comparisons between groups for categorical variables will be performed using the χ2-test. Student's t-test will be used to compare two groups for normally distributed quantitative data. The difference will be considered significant for P \< 0.05.
