I can tell you that I believe that winding or burping is a gift from the bottle feeding and scheduling of feeding/pacifier groups. I was pleased to read a study that showed that babies get alot of air in their stomachs from crying. I also have seen that babies with a too rapid flowing bottle will need burping, probably because they are gulping.
Now, if we could get some proof that pacifiers cause air swallowing...
Liz, thanks for the great come-back about babies using their moms as a pacifier.
