If you’re a new mom who’s recently welcomed a precious little one, I know you’ve got a lot on your plate, especially when your baby is fussy or needing colic relief. In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most common and challenging issues new parents face – colic – and exploring how baby massage can be a powerful, natural way to help soothe your little one’s discomfort and bring colic relief.

Bringing colic relief is one of those things that can feel overwhelming, and when your baby is crying for hours on end, it can leave you feeling helpless, exhausted, and stressed. But here’s the good news: baby massage can offer real colic relief and comfort for both you and your baby. In this episode, I’m sharing my favorite massage techniques that you can do right at home, whether it’s during a diaper change, before bedtime, or any time your little one seems uncomfortable.

I’ll walk you through each of these techniques in a way that’s easy to follow, even if you’ve never tried baby massage before. You’ll learn gentle strokes like the ‘I Love You’ stroke, a simple technique that not only eases trapped gas but helps your baby feel calm and secure. I also show you the ‘Bicycle Legs’ move – a fantastic way to release any gas causing discomfort. These are practical techniques you can start using today to bring your baby colic relief, which will help ease your own worries too.

One thing I love about baby massage is how it’s not just about helping with colic relief; it’s a wonderful bonding experience. Touch is such an important part of how babies connect with the world, and by massaging your baby, you’re also building a deeper bond and helping them feel safe and loved. Studies show that this connection helps calm your baby and lowers your own stress as a new mom, which is something we could all use a bit more of, right?

I’ve also put together a free guide for you, called 4 Simple Ways to Soothe Your Colicky Baby, which includes step-by-step instructions and photos of these techniques. This guide is packed with more easy tips you can add to your routine to help your baby feel more comfortable, and you can grab it by heading here.

So if you’re ready to try some new ways to soothe your colicky baby and create some calm, both for your little one and for yourself, go ahead and hit play. I can’t wait to share these techniques with you, and I hope they bring you both comfort and relief. Let’s bring some peace back to your home – click play to find out how!
