You make him happy and you are interacting with him, but that does nothing with the gas in the belly.

It can. Be sure to rub in a clockwise direction starting in the lower right corner and circling above the belly button. Use gentle smooth pressure. You may use oils such as coconut oil or avocado oil -- adding a few drops of essential oil like lavender or chamomile can also help. Ginger, peppermint, and fennel are also well-known herbs to help with gas.
