Purpose Little is known about learning/adherence after different baby massage teaching strategies. We compared the learning/adherence after two strategies. Design and Methods Twenty mothers from the group manual‐course ( GMC ) and 20 from the group manual‐orientations ( GMO ) received a booklet. GMC participated in a course during the third trimester. GMO received verbal instructions during the postpartum hospital stay. Multiple‐choice and practical tests assessed learning ( GMC : performing strokes on a doll; GMO : on the baby). Adherence was measured 3 months after childbirth. Results No differences were found between the groups in learning/adherence. Practice Implications Both teaching strategies showed similar and positive results.
