For baby gas massage, clockwise circular motions are recommended—this direction matches the natural peristalsis (muscle contractions) of the colon and helps move gas along.
Starting from around the belly button, make gentle, clockwise, outward-expanding circles with light pressure for about 3–5 minutes. Bicycle leg movements also complement the massage nicely.
If your baby becomes fussy or cries during the massage, take a break and try another position (holding face-down on your lap, gentle back pats). For persistent or severe gas pain, check with your pediatrician.
