Straining to poop while nursing

Kristin

My LO is 12 days old and straining to poop or pass gas while on the boob. He clamps down constantly and in return takes in a lot of air...making him super gassy. Anyone else dealing with this? He's not latching well because he is full of gas. Help please! We have gas drops on board so I'm hoping they help get him some relief...and my nipples too!
