Babies communicate discomfort through subtle physical signs. Back arching, pulling legs up, stiffness, or restlessness may indicate digestive or physical discomfort.
Helpful tips for parents:
• Burp your baby frequently during and after feeds
• Keep your baby upright for 20–30 minutes post-feeding
• Try gentle tummy massage or bicycle leg movements
• Ensure proper feeding technique and flow
• Maintain a calm, comfortable feeding environment
