Foot massage for baby gas relief can support digestion by applying pressure to reflex areas, especially those that stimulate the intestines. You can do it like this:
Starting from your baby's heel, gently press upward with your thumb toward the toes. Apply gentle circular movements for 1-2 minutes on the area just below the inner curve of the foot (considered an intestinal reflex point). Apply to each foot in turn. Combining this massage with bicycle leg movements during gas pain can be even more effective.
Make sure the baby is comfortable before the massage; don't force it if there's crying or discomfort. You may prefer using baby oils. If there's intense gas pain that doesn't improve within 2-3 days, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
