How are you dealing with NB gas discomfort?

We're home with baby on day 2 and I get so sad when I see him in discomfort? I'm wondering what everyone is doing for this. We're burping him and doing the baby bicycle but I need more stuff in my arsenal. 

Thanks.

We bounce LO on our knees sitting upright with one hand on his head/neck and other on his chest.

When you bounce an sit them upright is this while they are having the discomfort? How long does this last for?? It is so hard to see this day after day!

my parents told me to have my lo lay face down across my legs and rub her back

it got to the point with my DD that I called my pedi to ask for advice... she said that I could go ahead and give mylicon (simethicone) drops with every bottle/feeding. It seemed to help her pass the gas through her system a little easier... but otherwise, i just did the bicycle legs and put her on her tummy over my legs... it's just trial and error unfortunately!

As long as they are pooping and you hear them pass gas then it's probably not the formula brand right?

Little tummies take time to mature. It doesn't always mean that you ate something bad or that the formula isn't agreeing with baby.

We used to lay babe tummy down on our lap and rub his back. A warm water bottle on your lap between you and baby doing the same thing helped too.

Bicycling legs, burping, doing the 'I love you' tummy massage (google/youtube it), and Simethicone drops helped too.

Thanks ladies.
