Magical frog hold

in May 2014 Moms
So I thought Id post this to see if it can help anyone else. I was an a BFing support group and one of the babies about 2-3 moths old was screaming his poor little head off after a feeding and arching his back. Mommy couldn't get him to stop. The LC said baby looked like he was in pain and asked if she'd tried the frog hold. Mommy disagreed that he was in pain but LC asked if she could just try the frog hold to see if it would work. Mommy agreed and like magic baby went from screaming to quiet and content. It was actually amazing. I just thought- wow I wish this poor mom knew this months ago. I tried it on my LO and sure enough she stopped crying.


You curl up their legs frog-like and hang them forward. Apparently it relieves pressure somewhere. Picture attached (please ignore my frump look!)

Hope it helps someone out for at least a minute of quiet :)

    Love this, thank you for posting! My MIL suggested this, but over the shoulder (as in burping position) while holding LOs legs in frog position. I thought she was full of it and never tried. Guess she has some useful tips after all :)

    Omg this totally works. I was just feeding my little guy and he kept pushing the bottle away and crying. I couldn't get a burp so I tried this frog hold. He immediately farted and seemed like he felt much better!

    Just tried this out. LO hated it and screamed through it so I thought it wouldn't work. I put her back upright and she sharted. So it did work, but not for quiet! She needed the poop, she hadn't had one since lunch time, which is unusual for her.

    @spacepotatoes‌ same exact thing here!. I put her upright and she farted twice. I put a thermometer in her butt while having her legs froggied and she sharted, a ton. Success!

    I tried it when she wasn't screaming just to practice and she spit up soooooooooooooo much. Not sure what that means...

    @spacepotatoes‌ that made me LOL during my MOTN :)@JKBMA2014‌ Never heard of the thermometer trick. Was this to check for temp or does this stimulate them to go?
    @springbeduk2‌ :( Poor baby

    I ended up doing this but over the shoulder with DS just because he went into it naturally and seemed to like it. I get really quick burps out of him this way. :)
