Connie, great to hear it went better last night! As for the self settling, been trying from about 12 weeks.....still trying! lol. Seriously, I am the worst offender, I am looking at a sleep school for my wee man, it is all my fault I got him used to being cuddled to sleep so now he hardly self settles. He has a few times, but again, I don't let him cry for too long. Like I said, I am way too soft!

Another tip for the burping.....when he was little, if I couldn't get the burp out (it did happen sometimes) I would lie DS along my arm on his belly, his head being supported my my hand, bum pointing to my elbow, massaging his back, and usually that got the burp out. I am a burp nazi, I have to get it out or else. I now usually start by sitting DS on my lap rubbing/patting his back, then I hold him upright across my shoulder and pat his bum gently. Usually he burps some more if it didn't all come out while I had him on my lap. I read somewhere that even the tiniest bit of gas can be really painful for them, hence the crying, wriggling and arching!
