Adults are not the only ones who enjoy a relaxing massage. Research shows that babies who are massaged are less colicky and sleep better. Babies need to be cuddled and touched. Giving a colicky baby a massage is a good way to promote relaxation and comfort them with the power of skin-to-skin contact. Undress the baby and gently stroke her arms, legs, back, feet, and hands. For gassy babies, rub their belly in a clockwise motion or bicycle the baby’s legs to relieve pressure.
