Development is important for the child's
development phase. In the preliminary study,
60% of 3-9 months infants experienced
developmental delays. The purpose of the
study was to analyze the differences in the
development of infants aged 3-9 months
before the baby spa was conducted with the
baby spa at the Puskesmas Socah

The dependent variable is the
development of infants aged 3-9 months and
the independent variable is baby spa. The
population of all infants aged 3-9 months who
were not sick was 25 infants with a sample of
16 infants grouped into one group and carried
out baby spa treatment, with a purposive

Based on the results of a study before
baby spa that most babies (62.4%) had
developed doubts as many as 10 babies.
while after baby spa (50%) babies develop
dubious development and (50%) the
remaining babies develop accordingly, namely
8 babies, Statistical test results with Paired
Samples developmental T-Test for infants
aged 3-9 months before and after baby spa p
Value (0,000) <α (0.05) means that there is a
difference in the development of infants aged
3-9 months before and after the baby spa.
We recommend that health workers can
also do baby spa because baby spa is very
beneficial for children's development.
