Massage Your Baby to Help With Gas or Colic - Reduce stimulation for your baby by dimming lights and reducing sounds.
Help your baby settle down, if upset, with either gentle, rhythmic pats or soft, rhythmic counting.
Massage Your Baby to Help With Gas or Colic
Wait at least 30 minutes after your baby has breast-fed or 1 hour after giving a bottle of formula before beginning massage.
Find a position for you that is comfortable. Be aware of your back.
Either cradle your baby on a pillow on your lap or position your baby on a towel or blanket in front of you.
Support is on the way for parents of gassy and colicky babies. Instead of feeling helpless, use massage as a tool to support your baby during this difficult time. - by eHow
