For baby gas try visiting sites like webmd,livestrong,even gerber for tips there. Babies are little people and their tummies digest milk at that tender age.

Sometimes babies cannot digest the milk they are being given, even Mother's milk. Check with your Doctor and put this child on another formula try to make her as comfortable as possible it will make life easier for both of you. Blessings

We all get air into our system as we eat and so do babies! after each feed try to gently pat on her back or gently massage her back until you can hear her bring up the air[ belch] we call it! before you put her into her crib that may help.

Hi tash! I suggest everytime you feed her with her milk,you let her burp so the gas will come out at once. It's been the process here in our country that everytime the baby drinks milk,he/she needs to burp. You can also massage her with gentle pressure. Massage her belly with your two fingers and gently press downwards. I hope this helps.

I just wanted to comment that because I keep my word filter on because I like it that way, any words on the list make for hidden comments but in this discussion I find this so funny. How are things going now with baby? I suggest slow down the feeding? Baby will adapt soon and maybe smaller more frequent feedings will be easier for now although I realize that is more work for you. What about a little break and read a story. Though it sounds silly it is something that may be stimulating, anything that makes for happy time is good I would think. Wouldn’t be long and walking will be the next thing on the agenda.
