Hi, my son is now 6 mo and has always had trouble with gas. If he wakes up at night or a nap with gas pain, I have always picked him up and tried to help (at nap it is usually a burp, at night usually the other end). Thanks to Tracy's methods he can put himself to sleep. I don't find that picking him up when he wakes due to gas pain has hurt his ability to go to sleep. If I pick him up and he burps, he typically falls back asleep immediately. The gas has improved over time and I figure eventually he will be able to deal with it fully himself. I hope it is soon because he is now very heavy.
