Gas drops, hold upright after feeding for 20 minutes, burp him well, bicycle legs and belly massage. Push his knees up gently into his stomach to help him fart. It makes them feel better, and it's hilarious. GL!

I second the gripe water suggestion, it worked wonders when my son was tiny. Also laying his on his back & gently pushing his legs up is a great suggestion too. Make sure you're burping him often while feeding. Good luck.

Everyone gave good advice to start with but if it doesn't help you may want to try cutting out dairy. My DS2 is the same way. I cut out dairy and it helped with the stomach issues however he still cries a lot it's just not the screaming in pain cry. Good luck, I honestly know all to well how hard this is.

Everything above posters have stated, and have you started eating anything in particular that is different?  There are a couple camps that say if you eat particular things, your lo may have issues with your breastmilk...so really examine what you've been eating. Try to eat blander foods, less caffeine, etc. 

Good luck...i know it's no fun. Stressed out because baby is stressed is horrible.

Gripe water!

Baby massage his tummy area too. I have a baby with collic and one thing that works wonders is the vacuum.  As soon as I turn it on, no matter how hard he is crying he stops within 5 seconds.
