A. Please don’t give gripe water as it could be dangerous for the child. Continue to breAstfeed on Demand, if not make to relieve constipation. Please remember that a breastfed baby can go up to a week without pooping. You can also massage the baby’s tummy in a circular motion to alleviate any gas related issues.

Massage the baby's tummy in clockwise and counterclockwise direction around navel and press the baby's knees gently on the tummy take some hot water put a hand towel and squeeze out excess water check the cloth on your skin first and put it on the baby's tummy
