Help a Gassy Baby - Burping is the first action in helping a gassy infant. Pat your baby's back to help work up any bubbles. If nothing is coming up, lay your baby on his back for 20 seconds and then hold him upright and burp him. The changing of positions can really help your crying baby.
Use the secret weapon for gassy babies! Lay your baby on her back, hold onto her ankles and alternate moving her legs in a bicycle motion, bending her legs and gently pushing her knees into her tummy. This move was such a lifesaver for my gassy baby. It worked like a charm. Whenever she was really fussy, we would do this move and it wouldn't be long before she was tooting away!
Help a Gassy Baby
Tummy time can help gassy babies. Give your baby supervised tummy time so he can work out his own gas, while exploring the world around him.
Walk around the house lightly bouncing her. Also, shift her around, changing the way you hold her. Sometimes, changing from one position to another helps things to move along. Take turns with someone holding her and help calm her, a lot of times, as the baby is being passed to another person, some gas will escape! The change of scenery might help distract a gassy crying baby as well.
Hold her high up on your shoulder so your shoulder is gently putting pressure on her tummy and gently bounce while singing a song to comfort her.
