Helps the hiccups and reflux
Spend a minute or so on each position. If baby seems uncomfortable, skip to next position. Try to do them twice a day when baby is relaxed and not crying or cramping.
Side Bending
Opens up the flanks and stretches diaphragm
Wiggly Fingers
Stimulate diaphragm and releases deep burps - may get some spit up or reflux
Baby bridges
Gently stretch mid back and diaphragm
Window Wipers
Mobilise gas and wind under the diaphragm
Tummy Time Rolling:
Be sure to do tummy time every day, even if for only a few minutes at a time. It helps to activate all the spinal muscles and makes them stronger.
Burping:
Be sure to get the burps out or there will be extra pressure on the diaphragm.
