Any tricks to deal with gas??

What do you do when your LO has gas? Are there any movements or tricks to help soothe them and get it out without using stuff like Oval? I have been using this and trying to burp or rub his back but Oval is the only thing that seems to really work.

    If I lay him on my legs and bicycle his legs, it sometimes helps. Also, you can use your fingertips to "walk" across his stomach from right to left - this has helped him release some gas. 

    I also like gripe water.

    bicycle the legs and then gently push his/her legs up towards his/her stomach.  My LO always farts when I do this, LOL

    Gas drops and gripe water did nothing for us.  Only massaging his belly and pumping his legs help.  I also give him probiotics and that has helped lower that amount of gas.

    This. I've found you actually have push a little harder than you'd think...not really hard, of course.

    Both of these - and I found Hyland's Homeopathic Colic Tablets are amazing at helping him with his gas pains.  They are incredible - I found them at Whole Foods.  They melt on his tongue.
