  Do you use gas drops? I know some people think they're useless, but we've had luck with them when LO is super gassy. Daycare said they seem to help when LO doesn't burp well... and our pedi said they can be helpful when the gas needs to pass at the other end.

  I've tried them but they've never seemed to do anything. However, everyone else says that they work magic so who knows!

  I'm in the same boat. her gas is what wakes her up in the middle of the night.  gas drops do nothing for us.

  Are you BFing? If so have you tried cutting down on gassy foods and carbonated beverages? I had to cut out all carbonated beverages when BFing because it caused DS a lot of pain. It looked like it was gas but I finally figured out it wasn't. But if you already dont drink anything carbonated then I got nothing for ya, sorry!
  

  Along these lines, if you're BFing, could it be a milk protein intolerance? A lot of breastfed babies with MPI are very gassy so you may try eliminating dairy from your diet to see if that helps.

  Hmmm, those are a few things to think about. I don't usually drink carbonated beverages but I have been lately. I've also always wondered about dairy because I have an addiction to it but since he's never had any mucousy or bloody stools so I didn't think it was. Did you ladies just cut out the obvious dairy or hidden dairy as well?

  All milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream etc. and chocolate.

  This is pretty much my daily diet :-/

  Yeah it sucks. But you get used to almond milk and coconut ice cream. It's not great but it's worth not having LO in pain.... Most of the time
  

  I agree to ALL of this!
  Also, since I've been dairy free, I've noticed my LO doesn't get nearly as many boogers.

  Have you tried gripe water? Gas drops don't do much for DS either but gripe water works pretty well for his gas.

  Maybe probiotics too - they can help ease tummy pain.

  I would second the probiotic post. It has helped M a ton! And nat phos 6x homeopathic pills. For acid reflux-indigestion. And trust me, I was not someone who believed in homeopathic remedies!
