I had a baby massage woman visit me the other day, and she showed me a good massage move for shifting wind if thats his problem. Its drawing a rainbow shape from left to right on his tummy, going up to just above the belly button. My little girl gets bad wind and when I was doing this she kept farting so must have been getting something moving! Also, use a little oil so your hands dont drag, she gave me sweet almond to use. Hope it helps!

As some other girls have said, laying bubs over my legs and rubbing her back works a treat when her tummy seems to be uncomfortable - also a hot shower seems to be quite soothing for her, too.

Don't know if these would work for your baby, as well?

Hope you find something works to help settle her tummy
