How do you massage a baby's stomach?

My baby is 2 months old. I want to know how do you massage a baby's stomach?

Clockwise with an open hand, gently moving from the lower right hip area up, across the top of the abdomen under the ribcage, and then down the left side, across the bottom.

You don’t massage a baby stomach, you can apply a little bit of lotion very gently after bathing.
