Baby constipation massage?

The most common and effective method for baby constipation massage is clockwise abdominal massage combined with "bicycle" leg movements.
How to do it:
Lay your baby on their back, gently warm your palm (or two-three fingers) and massage around the belly button in a clockwise direction (from lower right up, then from upper left down — following the natural direction of the digestive system). Apply the movement gently but firmly, without pressing hard. Then hold the legs and slowly move them in a bicycle pedaling motion — 10-15 repetitions. You can try this 2-3 times a day, especially before or after a bath.
Important note:
If your baby is under 3 months old or cries, becomes fussy, or has a swollen, firm belly during the massage — stop massaging and consult a pediatrician. Also, if constipation lasts more than 3 days, your baby has bloody stools, vomiting, or fever, you need to see a doctor.
