2wk old DD's painful gas breaks my heart -Help!

DD has such painful gas that after every feeding she cries and turns red with her bottom lip quivering.  We are doing everything we've read - feeding her upright, keeping her upright after eating, burping her mid feeding, feeding every 2-3 hours, good latch on, even gripe water.  Still no relief for her.  We're a bit on the crunchy green side so we're hesitant to use Mylicon but we're desperate.  I feel awful because a - she's in pain and b - it's keeping us from really getting to know and enjoy her.

 Any advice would be great...thanks!

    Not sure if you bfing or ffing but we switched from a milk formula to a soy formula and added gas drops...we had a whole new baby!

    We use mylicon and it's really helped.  If you're EBFing, maybe it's something you're eating that doesn't agree with her.  If your FFing, she may need a different formula...something for sensitive stomachs or a soy.

    If it's after feeding, could it be reflux?

    I was right there with you! Hang in there, it gets better as they get older. I am super "crunchy" and the Gripe Water did nothing for us... we finally used Mylicon and that helped a little. I completely cutout all dairy and that helped SO MUCH. DD would fuss mid-feeding and now that I have cut out dairy she doesn't fuss at all. When I accidently eat something with milk protein, she is a wreck!! I would try cutting dairy out and see if it helps.

    My uncle is an ER nurse and he gave us a trick that they use in the hospital. Lay your LO on their side and rub their back in a?circular?motion for 2-5 minutes ... then flip and repeat on the other side. It sounds simple but with every flip DD would usually let out a huge fart. It helped to move her gas bubbles down. ?

    I really hope your DD gets some relief. I used to cry right along with my DD when she would that young. Its so hard to work through. Hang in there! ?
