Gas drops and push her/his knees to her/his belly gently when she/he is laying on her/his back.

If you mean gas, this is common in a formula fed baby. Avent and Dr. Brown bottles are good and keep a lot of the air out.

your baby sounds like may need a faster flow teat as maybe trying to drink faster than bottle allowing him/her too.for wind and stomach ache try infacol or gripe water to help release the preasure.formula feed babies tend to get collic around this age where the baby will cry constantly for 10mins-2 hours,if this is the case put your baby across your knee so the stomach is across you width ways and rock gently and rub the back also put the knees to the cheast area at bad spells.hope this has helped.x

My son was the same way. He always had gas and was so uncomfortable with it. Gas drops, in my opinion, are useless. They didn't help my son or my daughter when she was a baby. With my son, I would lay him on his belly across my lap and pat his back. It helped him a lot. I would also lay him on his back on my lap, with his head at my knees and push his legs towards his baby, pushing both legs at once, and doing left leg, right leg, etc.

Along with the other suggestions for gas drops, etc. You can take a receiving blanket, warm it up, and then roll it and lay your baby on it while on your shoulder.

It's because she/he is swallowing too much air. Use the disposable bag bottles because they have less of a chance of swallowing air. And you can give them baby gas drops too.

Change to a different baby formula. That’s what my sister in law had to do and it helped.
