there can be a number of things to do for that,
1 try gripe water that stuff works awesome
2 make sure the baby burps
3 try changing formulas, try a lactose free one or just try going with nestle formula. i found that when my daughter was on a cheap formula she was gassy and craky a lot so we switched to enfamil and she is not so cranky anymore
well hope that helps

1st, get some mylechon drops. You can get them in the pharmacy section near the infant tylenol.
2nd, try burping baby after every 1-2ounces of formula or every maybe 5 minutes of breastfeeding. Breaking the feeding and burping will make it easier to get the air out that baby is swallowing. If I can be of more help, you can IM me

Bicycle pump their legs and gently push them into their stomach. Rub their tummy's just below their bellybutton in a clockwise circular motion, important that you do this clockwise because that is the way the body digests food.
There are also drops that you can use before or after feedings that will help their little bellys expel gas.
Lots of burping helps too, good luck!

Burp the baby at 1/2 of the bottle and burp again when finish the whole bottle. If the gas doesn't come out from mouth, it will come out from bottom.. and you don't want that.
So, don't give up, keep burping.
Best wishes!

Mylecon drops work wonders. You only need 0.3 ml, and that should do it. You can give it to them every two hours. If it continues to be a problem, though, the baby's pedi may need to recommend another formula.

Mylicon and bicycle legs. Just hold his legs and move them towards his stomach in a bicycle motion. This should help move the gas out.

make sure hes latched on properly if you breastfeed. try cooled boiled water too, it helps get the wind out. watch what you eat if you breastfeed, avoid the sprouts!

Talk to your pediatrician...you may need to change formula, unless you are breast feeding. Try to hold them laying on their bellies, put them on your lap and try it that way.
