Aiden has been crying more than usual and I think it's due to gas. Desperate to anything to calm him, I think I've invented a new technique or remedy.
To relieve his gas, I simply lay him on his back in a warm comfortable room. I remove his diaper (so he feels totally comfortable), and move his legs like he's riding a bicycle upside down(doing big circles) for about a minute. Then I message his belly gently and do the bicycle some more. After two or three iterations of massage followed by air bicycle, I put his legs together and I bend them at the knee and gently push his legs agains his abdomen. After a couple of gental pushes he starts to pass gas. I continue until a he's passed gas 3 or 4 times. I figure that's a significant amount of gas expulsion and it should give him some relief.
