Gas Relief for 1 month old

My daughter is 1 mnth old and I think that she has gas. I tried giving her The "Little Tummy" gas relief but it doesnt seem to help.. We will rub her belly, do bicycles with her legs, put her on her belly and rub her back and she will pass some gas.. It is bothering her, b/c she will bring her legs up to her stomach and her face will turn red and then she will kick her legs out stiff and pass gas.. Any advice of what else to do or anything else she can take.. Thanks in advance

Are you breast feeding or bottle feeding.

If you are bottle feeding,

My little girl also had the same issue then I did one of the following


when you prepare her bottle
1. Just wait until all the bubbles disappear.
2. Use Mylicon gas relief drops 15 minutes before feeding
3. put 1 or 2 drops of mylicon in her bottle.
4. lie her on her tummy and rubber her lower back with both the hands in circular motion and then do the squatting(when she is on her tummy itself just bend her legs gently and then release)

My girlfriends new son has colic and has really hard gas. The poor thing! My suggestion would be to buy a heating pad. They make the kind filled with rice or corn that you heat up in the microwave. I think the heat combined with a little pressure (from the pad) might help. Otherwise I think you are doing everything you can!
