Moms know how difficult it is to find the perfect way to rid a child of colic. Gases in the intestines can not only irritate the child, but also cause trouble to parents. I always helped to relieve the child from the problems of a gentle tummy massage.
Babies have abdominal pain, which is usually caused by bloating.
Warmth (for example, warm wraps) and touch helps to relax.
Warm and peaceful
Before starting a massage for a child, take off the jewelry from your hands, calm down, set the phone aside. The room should be warm and not very bright. Massage should be done when he is calm, and not during an attack of colic and crying. During the massage, talk to the child, smile at him. We give tips on how to massage the tummy to get rid of gas. But you do not need to concentrate on accurate counting of repetitions and keep order. Massage, touching the body of the child and observing his reaction is the best opportunity to get to know each other. The child will tell you what he likes, what he does not like, what kind of movement is nice and what is too strong for him.

Step by step
Take the baby and remove the diaper from it. Then brush your hands with olive oil and heat them.
Water wheel
Place warm hands across the baby’s belly (one above the other) and slowly move them alternately from top to bottom. Repeat this movement 6 times (3 times with each hand).
Legs for belly
Bent baby legs, press lightly to the tummy and hold for about six seconds. If the legs are tense and create resistance, do not press them with force, just put warm hands on your baby and gently press it against the tummy.
Foot relaxation
Gently grab your baby's legs or body and shake your legs slightly.
Moon and sun
On one side of the tummy, you draw the moon (semi-circle) clockwise. On the other hand, you draw the sun (full circle), also clockwise. After performing these movements, do not take your hands off the baby’s belly. Repeat all movements 6 times.
And finally.
After the massage, put on a diaper and clothes. Now you can gently put the baby
on the stomach. Often, it helps to naturally get rid of the gases that have accumulated in the intestines. You can put a toy in front of your baby - if he lifts his head and tries to catch it, he will launch an “abdominals”, which will help push out the gases from the tummy.
