Why it helps
Eases gas and works the hips — the classic for a reason.
How to do it
- Lay baby on the back on a firm surface
- Hold the shins and cycle the legs gently, one at a time
- Add a slow both-knees-to-tummy press, hold 3 seconds, release
Stop if any movement seems to cause pain (crying that spikes with the motion).
