When I did a baby massage course with dd we were taught how to rub their tummies in a circular movement to help with the stool passing through the colon (sorry if that's tmi!!). However, I can't remember if it was clockwise or anti clockwise. We were taught never to rub in the wrong direction as this could encourage things to go the wrong way (!).
Poor thing keeps screaming as if she's passing a brick and then it's only the tiniest of poos. It's because she's not drinking enough...
Can anyone help?
