Gas...not exorbitantly priced petrol.  I'm talking about gastrointestinal gas.  Not mine, but Simon's.

A few weeks ago I finally figured out that gas has been causing Simon's early dawn grunting and restlessness.  Because he's been so miserable, I've resorted to giving him a dose or two of Ovol (not without guilt!).

At the Kitsilano Parent-Infant group a few weeks ago, the topic was infant massage and one of the benefits is to help relieve gas.  I looked up massage techniques in Infant Massage:  a Handbook for Loving Parents by Vimala Schnider McClure and tried them out of Simon.  I think the massage actually helped, as Grandma Sofia reported that Simon tooted away while she held him after a massage session!
