I've read that if you massage your child's tummy it can help make them feel better. Does it work? I'm thinking on trying it out

What can I do next?

I may be wrong (and sorry if I am) but you've asked questions about bouncing your child on your knee, child sitting on knee, and rubbing a child's tummy. All asking is this ok..

I just don't think this is genuine. I don't know one parent (male or female) who would ask these sorts of questions.

This question is just too odd - massage your child's tummy (for what purpose)?

It depends. If the child has a stomach virus and is vomiting, touching and rubbing can make it much worse. If they are constipated, it can be helpful, same as a warm bath or bending their knees up (gently) toward their abdomen.

Massaging the tummy gets poop inside moving because you are physically "moving it around" by massaging the tummy.
