Giving your baby some belly strokes may encourage trapped gas to flow, as their main objective is to move air within the intestines toward your baby’s bowels.

Here, you will find some massage techniques described in the book, Infant Massage: A Handbook for Loving Parents, by Vimala McClure.

❗ As it was mentioned at the beginning of this article, talk to a professional before trying any home remedies on your baby. If you get their approval, make sure your baby is alert, calm, and happy as you begin with the massage. Otherwise, stop immediately.

✅ Start the massage at least 45 minutes after feeding your baby to lower the risk of vomiting. If your baby’s arms seem stiff or they’re not looking at you, stop the massage and wait for some other time to try it.

✅ Keep eye contact during the massage. Start with very gentle strokes. As long as your baby seems happy, you may increase the pressure as you go on.
