Hey there. I am a Nationally Certified Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork Therapist. I took an infant massage class in Germany. Here is what I learnt for constipation and painful gas in infants, children and adults: lie your baby on her back. Put her left foot in your right hand and her right foot in your left hand. Gently, yet firmly, massage a clockwise circle on top of her right foot. Use fco with fennel. Massage a circle approximately ten times. Then cup her ankle, squeeze gently and release. Cup her lower calf, squeeze gently and release. And then cup her upper calf, squeeze gently and release. Switch to her left left foot and repeat what you did on the right foot.
She will pass gas and/or have a bowel movement within twenty minutes. If not, massage again.
This has worked wonders for my three children and my husband.
Good Luck!

Thanks! That's really interesting. I've never heard of using purify
after a vaccination! Would I just rub the purify on his feet or his
tummy? And should I try the Fennel oil or make a Fennel tea and try to
give it to him in a bottle? He's never had a bottle so I don't know
if he'll take it. Thanks!
