Extra gassy babies?

Question

I’ve tried switching formulas up we have used:
-enfamil gentle and the regular yellow can
-similac sensitive 
-using gerber good start right now
Is there something else I can do/use? She screams bloody murder when she has to pass gas. We’ve tried the belly messages and moving the legs. Nothing ever comes out. She calms down once she let’s it out. We’ve tried gas drops and gripe water too.
Oh and I will talk to doctor she has 4 month checkup coming up. Just looking to see what’s worked for others.

Answer

We had to order from Europe because they didn’t have the ingredients the formulas here have. I know it’s not feasible for everyone unfortunately, but if you can swing it holle goat milk formula was amazing and hipp 0-6 months was amazing

Answer

Liz I went though the same thing with my 1st baby who is now about to be 6 months.
I should use my windi from Frida baby my sister gave me but didn’t but I didn’t however figure out a routine that worked well.
I got grip water as well as probiotics drop the probiotic drops were like a night and day difference for my LO.
I also routinely did baby yoga/excises everyday as a form of play time which I started when he was 2months he still absolutely loves it now.
I did 
the kicking of legs-bicycle kicks
Leg bends 
Side to side legs
Circle motion with legs together too
I found if you pat the tummy work and when you rub to do it in a circle swapping counter and clockwise to push the gas though.
Grab and promoted pacifier and of course 15mins vertical with patting burp times to aid and lessen gas.
mindful of the tension in his baby muscles since their developing
This a phase apparently all babies go though some are worse then other but it’s just there digestive track as well as bowel development.
The drops were literally a night and day game change for us.
Ps. I did the same formulas it wasn’t til I got a better quality of formula too that helped as well as being mindful of my diet as having my first baby I didn’t know that having acid reflux trigging food effect my baby he got from daddy I don’t have it but now I eat like I do due to breastfeeding and that’s helped a lot too.

Answer

We use C&G anti-reflux milk and TT anti-colic bottles. Downside is that the milk can sometimes make my son constipated and get trapped wind. He will cry, arch his back and lift up his legs until he manages to get something out - 💨 or 💩 
Honestly, check with your child’s doctor first but my mum always gave me as well as my brother a fennel instant tea/ juice that was meant for babies to help our tummies. 
Back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth 👍🏻

That’s an example from eBay - that one is safe for use from the first week
They don’t sell the one she got us in shops anymore but I found it online. My son doesn’t seem to like the taste of just water and I don’t want to give him sugar-water how my husband’s mother did with him 🙄
I asked my midwife and our GP if I could use pure fennel tea, that’s been cooled instead of water and it seemed to ease the constipation and trapped wind. 
My son actually likes gripe water but it only really works if he’s got trapped burps or is being sick. Fennel tea seems to work for trapped poops and windy-pops. 
Also we have a water mat for tummy time, sometimes that can help as well as bicycling his legs. GL

Answer

This the very website I ordered mine from worth every penny. It is in German but I found a translation for the ingredients to be listed in English. I was surprised to see the difference in amounts compared to the United States 🇺🇸.

Answer

My daughter really struggled when she was younger but she's much better now thankfully. She's 4 months.
I use Nestle good start plus, it has probiotics that are supposed to help 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I used to use baby ovol but now that she's in the jolly jumper during the day we haven't had a problem.

Answer

Colic calm helped my daughter.

Answer

Okay so Frida baby makes something called a Windi. Google it and I recommend to try it. It really worked in helping my son pas his gas when gas drops wouldn't do it.

Answer

My doctor recommended we switch to nutramigen - fortunately COVID hit so I was able to nurse him more because the nutramigen is expensive. but I had to cut dairy from my diet - his gas was due to a lactose sensitivity. We also used gripe water, gas drops religiously and he slept on a slight incline, some nights with a warm rice bag across his belly.

Answer

Gas drops! They’ve been saving us. We just switched from similac pro sensitive to enfamil gentlease. Fingers crossed this solves it

Answer

Gripe water and bath followed by lavender lotion.
