1. **Burp Regularly**: Ensure your baby is burped after every feeding to help release any trapped air that can cause discomfort.
2. **Feed in an Upright Position**: Hold your baby upright during and after feeding for about 20-30 minutes to aid digestion and prevent reflux.
3. **Monitor Feeding**: Avoid overfeeding. Feed smaller amounts more frequently if necessary.
4. **Gentle Tummy Massage**: Gently massage your baby's tummy in a clockwise direction to help relieve gas and promote digestion.
5. **Bicycle Legs Exercise**: Lay your baby on their back and gently move their legs in a bicycling motion to help release trapped gas.
6. **Keep Baby Upright**: Keep your baby in an upright position for about 30 minutes after feeding to help digestion and reduce the risk of spitting up.
7. **Check Feeding Technique**: Ensure your baby is latching properly if breastfeeding, or that the bottle is angled correctly to minimize air intake if bottle-feeding.
8. **Warm Bath**: A warm bath can help relax your baby’s muscles and relieve discomfort.
If these methods do not alleviate the symptoms or if the baby shows signs of severe discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea, or other concerning symptoms, consult a pediatrician to rule out any underlying medical issues.
