Baby tummy was too hard, she cries on regular intervals. Poor BBB, i can hear her discomfort from her mouth and butt. Burps and farts. In times like these, we need a juicy :)
1. Induce burps every 5 minutes, even if its in between feedings.
2. Head should be higher than tummy to avoid reflux.
3. Massage the tummy.. I do this while humming a tune for timing. Gently massage from ribcage to tummy to diaper using alternate hands. Then move the knees to touch the tummy/ chest with the same tune. Massage again the tummy in a circular clockwise motion. And another session of knees to tummy/ chest.
4. let her rest on her left slide.. remember our pregnant days, this is the best position even for baby. It assist gravit to keep the liquids down.
5. Supervised tummy time, i have a 1 month old child who still does not have much neck control. She sometimes get too comfortable with her tummy pressed while her mouth and butt that airflow becomes easier.
Just a caveat, stomach sleeping can increase the possibility of SIDS on infants, the Amercan AAP recommends back sleeping.
6. And the manzanilla, tried it once, scared actually of possible skin irritation for baby so I used it super thinly on her tummy and applied more of it on the back of my elbow so if the chamomile properties really calm, she'll get aromatherapy.
