Gas is driving us crazy!... HELP!!

Alyssa

My 5 and a half week old has GERD and also gets very bad gas. We have her on medicine for the GERD and we give her gripe water for the gas. Usually the gripe water works wonders, but sometimes the gas is too much and she just screams. It’s the worst scream because we know she’s in pain and can’t do anything to make it better. Does anyone have solutions they’ve used for gas? We massage her tummy, try warm bottles, and give her warm baths... usually nothing works on a lasting basis, just makes it better for a few minutes, then we have to hug her tight and let her scream until it either gets better or she falls asleep. It’s heartbreaking to know what’s wrong and not know how to fix it 😢
