The left illustration shows a caregiver performing a supine leg lift stretch on a baby lying on their back, supporting the knee and ankle to ease gas and promote relaxation; the right depicts a side-lying position where the caregiver cradles the baby’s head and supports the torso, ideal for reflux-prone infants or pre-sleep routines. Both techniques emphasize gentle touch, eye contact, and responsive pacing to build trust and comfort.
