Actually, my son was not much of a crier we practice attachment parenting but he did have terrible reflux and would vomit after nursing. If I started with a baby that was crying it wouldn't be as effective since the baby would be in an active stress state - I prefer to start with a calmer baby or attempt to calm a baby down a little.

the massage shld be clockwise direction instead of anticlockwise for the digesting system

@outbreak1122 Thanks, I have debated a lot about the descending colon with my fellow yoga teachers because of the various lineages some poses start on one side and are considered "wind removing" postures and certain sequences in Thai massage as well but have since found definitively that it is clockwise as you are looking down at the baby and postures for the same reason for gas should start on babies left side. If you are going with energy lines female energy starts on the left, male right

excellent excellent excellent!!! thank you.. I have seen some on here that look rather painful for the babies...I had to do this with my daughter when she was itty bitty as she was quite gassy, and it was wonderful to know that I could help her feel more comfortable...it definately eased her pain ....

Hi there, I can these asana's to be effective in reliving gas. As a concerned father, I could see these asana's possibly hindering the development of the infants hip development - possibly even hip dysplasia? Have you found evidence of this being the case?

Thanks to this video i was able to help my crying baby pass gas immediately. Every little exercise helped him release loud gas!

@solracoo3 Any babies of your own, then?

[tatyland]

Thank you for the video. I will do that with my baby. I wanted to add, as a massage therapist, when you massage the baby stomach you want to do it clockwise so it is opposite of what this video shows. If you massage the stomach backward the "waste" also goes backward and the gas too.
