Press These Points On Your Baby’s Feet To Make Them Stop Crying Immediately

#1

Reflexology is a natural and non-invasive treatment the perfect tool for calming down babies.

Infants don't have the ability to tell you what is troubling them, babies will often respond to physical pain simply by crying.

If you want an effective way to not only determine what it is your baby is experiencing, but also how you can fix it, try reflexology!

#2

Since babies are more receptive to touch, they are more receptive to reflexology as well. For instance, when the baby is upset, we hold them and rub their back.

There are several reasons for babies cry. Here below are the most common reasons:

Sleepiness or fatigue

Wet or dirty diaper

Hunger

Overstimulation from noise or activity

Colic, acid reflux, or food allergies

Pain or illness

#3

Reflexology works on pressing certain foot points and thus provides relief in the case of numerous health issues. Therefore, this practice will be suitable for babies to stop them crying in case of numerous health issues.

We will show you how to apply pressure on the baby's feet and thus solve various health problems.

#4

Babies are said to be much more responsive to reflexology than full-grown adults because they are more receptive to physical touch in general. When a baby or child is in distress, it is our natural response to comfort them physically by holding them, rubbing their back etc. This makes reflexology the perfect treatment for them.

#5

Reflexology is the application of pressure to certain points on the body, mainly focused on the feet. This is said to help treat a variety of health problems associated with their corresponding body parts. The guide shows these body parts, and which area of the baby's feet that affect them.

#6

The foot is broken down into 7 zones. Using these zones we can determine what is causing your baby to cry.

Head/Teeth

To treat problems involving the head and teeth, the tips of the toes are the parts of the foot that need to be rubbed. This is great for treating many health issues that occur above the neck, such as ear infections. It is especially helpful when the baby is teething, as performing reflexology on the tips of the toes can help to reduce the pain caused by this.

Sinuses

The area on the foot associated with sinuses is in the center of the "Head/Teeth" area, similar to the placement of the sinuses in our heads, which is right in the center. Applying pressure to the center of a child's toes can help reduce the severity of a variety of sinus problems ranging from a runny nose to the common cold and other respiratory problems. Although this is by no means a cure for any illness, it is said to reduce their symptoms and make them more bearable.

Lungs/Chest

The top of the foot which touches the ground above the arch corresponds to the chest area. Massaging this part will treat colds, chronic coughs, and chest congestion, due to accumulation of phlegm. Studies confirm that reflexology treats all forms of congestion.

Solar plexus

The solar plexus contains the nerves between the stomach and lungs, and pain in this area is hard to determine due to the various nerve endings. Yet, massage of the upper area of the arch will treat the pain.

Upper Abdomen

The area of the foot that corresponds with the abdomen is the entire arch of the foot. The upper abdomen correlates with the upper half of the arch. Performing reflexology on this area of the baby's foot can help with digestive issues such as bowel obstruction and heartburn.

Lower Abdomen

The lower abdomen correlates with the lower half of the arch. Performing reflexology on this area can help with post-digestive issues such as constipation and bloating, which may be factors behind your baby's discomfort.

Pelvis

The heel of the foot is linked to the pelvis, so massaging will soothe muscle tightness and postural problems. You should note that this practice is not a remedy and it provides only a temporary pain relief and relaxation.
