A few days ago we saw a simple way to avoid infant colic but, even by following each step, we can find days better than others. Fortunately, since I have followed the technique that I mentioned to avoid colic, I have rarely had to run into them, however, either because I am more tired or because the baby took his drink with more anxiety, sometimes I have had to pass a afternoon fighting against those gasecillas that tormented him.
When the baby cries inconsolably Due to the pain caused by the accumulated gases, we tend to lose patience, we do not know how to help him, etc. Today I tell you how we can relieve you with simple games and techniques that will help you to expel them with ease.
Get your legs up!
This game my baby loves, it is simply about laying him on his back and raising his legs as far as possible. I started doing it to my baby with the intention of showing his feet because they caught his attention, however, I discovered that in this way the belly is slightly pressed and the gasecillas come out on their own so, when I see it a little annoying, we started to play. He laughs a lot, the discomfort disappears and we can continue the day without crying in pain.
Pats on the belly
This is something that relieves him a lot, I saw it in a pediatrician's video, I tried it and it became the infallible technique with my baby. It is about standing up and holding the baby in your arms but face down, so that one hand passes between his arms (he will rest his head on your arm) and the other between the legs and, with the hand that passes between the legs , we are tapping him on the belly. They should be smooth but dynamic.
Belly massage
It is the most classic technique to relieve colic. We will heat the room a little so that the baby is not uncomfortable and we will give him a massage on the belly with the help of some moisturizing oil. The massage will be done in a clockwise direction and we must make sure that our hands also have a comfortable temperature.
