A. Do the belly massage. Fold your baby's knees upto the tummy and apply gentle pressure. Hold this position for 30 seconds, and repeat it a few times. Massage your baby's tummy from below the naval area in a downward motion. This helps in releasing the gas. Take your baby's legs and apply downward stroke from the thighs to the ankle. Hold your baby's thighs and slide down both your hands by rotating in opposite directions.

A. Yes, it is necessary to take some oil and pat it on your baby's head. Apply gentle strokes for spreading the oil over your baby's head. Take care of the fontanel and do not apply pressure to it. Apply some oil on your baby's face and move your fingers gently from the forehead towards the chin.
