talking abt babies .. my mom used to ‘haul hasli ‘ for lil babies!

hasli or hansli .. she massaged the collarbone n muscles around it n neck ..

diagnosed whn baby cries non stop n doesnt drink milk !!
Awhh  the poor babies screamed n got red in face during massage but then tired  out n drank frim the bottle or nursed n fell asleep

2-3 sessions n baby is fine!
