hello and welcome to another baby
pillars tutorial
in this video we will learn
coping methods for your baby's gas and
bellyaches
the best way to hold your baby in order
to relieve gas and stomach symptoms
how you can prevent gas and belly aches
holding positions such as frontal cradle
tiger on the tree and more
during your baby's first few months you
may notice some discomfort in their
abdominal region accompanied by bloating
and gas
one of the reasons these symptoms occur
is because your baby's digestive system
is continuously developing
what we aim to learn is how to ease your
baby's symptoms when they ache and how
to prevent pain and discomfort thereby
easing this process of development and
making it more tolerable for your baby
the first thing you can do to prevent a
stomachache is to hold your baby in the
cradle position
hold your baby so that its head is
resting on one arm and knees are resting
on the other arm
your baby's ability to bend its back and
bring both hands to the central line of
its body is what allows the belly
muscles to release tension
this position relaxes your baby by
allowing gas to more easily vacate the
body
[Music]
notice that you can accompany this
position with a slight bounce either up
and down or swaying from side to side
use gentle strokes and your voice to
help distract your baby from any
discomfort
you may find that the cradle position is
the most comfortable position for your
baby
it's a familiar pose from their time in
the womb
