Free Methods To Help Relieve Your Baby's Gas Pain
By: Richard Bleuze
When over the counter and prescription medications don’t work, there are several common methods which can help your baby naturally relieve gas:
1. Burping
Yor baby has not learned to burp yet and needs your help. Do this often. Especially after your baby has been fed.
2. Water
Adding a small amount of sugar (1 oz) to a water bottle is just as effective as many of the colic medications currently on the market.
3. A Warm bath
Usually this helps your baby to relax. In addition, the warmth (body temperature only) may help the gases in his or her bowel to expand and be expelled.
4. Using a heat pack will help relax your baby’s stomach muscles.
To do this, you should take two hand towels and warm them, making sure not to make them too hot. You might consider throwing them in the dryer for a few minutes, checking them when you pull them out to make sure they are not too hot. If they are, just let them sit and cool down before use. Take one towel and fold it into a small pack-like bundle and place on your baby’s belly. Then, take the second towel and wrap it snuggly around your baby’s belly so that it holds the first towel in place and creates a slight pressure.
5. Tummy massage
A tummy massage will usually help to relieve abdominal gas. Put some oil on your hands and gently massage your baby’s abdomen in a clockwise direction using long stroking actions.
6. Moving your baby’s legs in a bicycling-like movement can help work out gas bubbles.
You can do this by laying your baby on his back. Slowly push one leg up so that it is close to the chest. As you pull the first leg back (slowly), push the second leg slowly up close to the chest. This manner of movement is very similar to what we do when we ride a bicycle. It’s fun for the baby and can be an excellent and gentle gas reliever.
The above naturally remedies will not cost you a dime and should relieve your baby's gas pains.
