My little one is 3 weeks old and seems to be having some serious gas pains. She is still having regular bowel movements, but she's irratable squirming around and trying to push down on everything. Any one have suggestions on gas drops or other solutions?

The first "round about" exercise works WONDERS on DD. And once she starts to pass gas that way I push her legs gently to her tummy and it releases a ton of air.
He still has gas pains and some issues I think with working out his bowel movements, but I am chalking it up to immature digestive system still at this point. We are hoping to see even more progress with it hopefully within the next couple of weeks. Crossing our fingers by the 3 month mark. He's almost 7w old, but was born 6w early. I have since stopped using any type of gas drops or gripe water, because I wasn't quite sure if it was making it worse or better. If we are still seeing irritability in him 2-3 weeks down the road, I am requesting we get his stomach/intestines looked at, because I want to rule out any sort of blockage, reflux issue that's causing him to writhe in pain and screech out, when passing gas.
Not sure if you're breasfeeding or using formula, but the formula seemed to be the major issue with us. Once we switched, we started seeing relief. Now we just do a lot of bicycle legs, burping in between feedings and more during feedings to keep it at bay.
