One of non-pharmacological effort to address this sleep disturbance is baby massage combined with lavender essential oil, because of its relaxing and calming effects.

The design of the research is use Pre-experimental with one-group pretest-posttest design was used, involving 60 infants aged 3-12 months as the sample. Data were collected through a questionnaire before and after the baby massage intervention using lavender essential oil, then analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with a total sampling technique. The results showed that before the intervention, most infants had poor sleep quality (86.7%), while after being given baby massage using lavender essential oil, infant sleep quality improved to the good category (93.3%). The statistical test showed a p-value = 0.042, meaning there is a significant effect of baby massage using lavender essential oil on infant sleep quality.
