Baby gas pains

Mary

Help! What do you do for babys gas pains?

I've tried gas drops (simithicone), gripe water, the frieda gas windi thing you put in their bum, bicycle kicks, lifting his legs in the air, extending his legs out straight, burping after each boob (breastfeeding only), changing my diet. None of that works.

Is there something else I can try?

This is miserable. He squirms his whole body in pain, his face turns red, he grunts, he kicks, he screams, and then I'll hear a gurgle in his tummy or he'll let out a fart. He cant even relax and breastfeed because he's squirming his body in pain. It wakes him up all night long. I swear he'd sleep for longer stretches if it weren't for the gas pains. Any tips? I'm contemplating trying formula just to see if he tolerates that better than my breastmilk for some reason.
