- "A type of complementary and alternative treatment that uses massage therapy for human infants."
"A massage given by a baby""A massage given by means of a baby"
In fact, the results I can find suggest this means the practice of parents or caregivers ... giving a baby a massage of sorts. I'm not sure what "type of complementary and alternative treatment" here and at infant massage is intended to convey, but it's possible both entries could be reworded to more prosaically note that they refer to massaging babies. "A massage given by a baby" is a plausible silly extension, describing a baby walking over you or whatever. "A massage given by means of a baby", as if your adult masseuse presses a baby into you, who knows. - -sche (discuss) 22:47, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- The last two senses were old WF trolling. Removed. This, that and the other (talk) 23:20, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
- Aha. In that case, I'll just reword infant massage, define baby massage as infant massage, and (hopefully) be done with it. - -sche (discuss) 00:06, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hehe, I was wondering when that Easter egg would be found. It was WF's monthly dose of nonsense. Most Wonderfolly is reverted much earlier, you guys were pretty slack.... Denazz (talk) 00:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- (It's silly, but it does remind me that baby yoga - referring both to stretch exercises for babies, but also a form of yoga for new parents using their babies as weights - does actually exist and should have an entry) Smurrayinchester (talk) 10:04, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
