A. hi...Young babies can barely communicate what they feel. So, even if they do not like the sensation, there is no way they can let you know, apart from the times, when it gets too intense, and they might burst out crying. While light touches on the belly and the heel are fine to invoke the sensations, proper tickling should be strictly reserved until your little one grows up to be a kid who can communicate well.
