- The baby should be wrapped in a strong and stable grip with the hand wrapped around the baby's abdomen whenever there is a bout pain.
You can also help with slight rotating massage movements, clockwise,
with moderate pressure on the abdomen while gripping.
These movements will soothe the pain.
- You can lay the baby on his back and move his legs clockwise and occasionally press the baby's legs to his stomach.
This movement will help release trapped gases.
- Joint jump on the physioball:
Some believe that a joint jump of the parent and baby, on a well-inflated physiotherapy ball, facilitates gas attacks.
Even if not - this is a relatively pleasant way to get through these difficult hours, which provides an illusion of control over the situation.
- Allow the baby to exhale:
Some abdominal pain is caused by swallowing air while breastfeeding or bottle-feeding.
Be sure to pick up the baby after the meal, and allow him to burp.
Some babies need to burp even in the middle of breastfeeding or feeding.
