The most common and effective massage techniques to ease gas pain in babies are:
Bicycle kicks: Lay your baby on their back, hold their feet, and make pedaling motions. This stimulates bowel movement.
Knees-to-chest press: Gently push both legs toward the belly at once, hold 5–10 seconds, then release. Repeat several times.
Clockwise belly circle: Start at the belly button and make gentle, clockwise circles (moving from lower right up, across, and down the left side) with your palm and light pressure. This follows the colon's natural direction.
"I Love U" massage: With your fingertips, trace an "I" down the left side, a backwards "L" on the right side, and a "U" across the bottom.
Do these 20–30 minutes after feeding, when your baby is calm and their legs are relaxed. You can use baby oil or coconut oil to reduce friction. If your baby cries hard or pulls their legs up tight, stop and talk to your pediatrician.
