The mylicon drops weren't enough for my little guy, so we ended up with prescription gas drops. They work like a charm! I know some users here have had luck with a gadget called the Windi, which manually removes gas from the baby.

G had terrible gas the first couple weeks, and nothing helped. She seems to be growing out of it; she doesn't scream anymore with the gas. We also give gas drops and do tummy massage/bicycle her legs. So, in addition to everything you are doing, it may get better with time!

Bicycling legs, try burping her on your shoulder, and maybe try the colic hold. And putting LO in the ring sling always forced out a few burps.

Mylicon drops were the only thing that worked for us. My LO also had trouble with powdered formula. He could tolerate it every now and then but no for every bottle. We used ready to feed formula as much as possible and it really helped him.

Cycling the legs, tummy massages and Infacol drops in her bottles.

@Cherrybee: i know, that's what led me to run around to multiple stores at 9pm on more than one occasion to try and find different bottles/nipples. in the end, as i mentioned, nothing except time really made a difference, but man, you could have sold me a $100 bottle at that point if you told me that it reduced gas. i just felt like i had to do something! sigh. i know what you're going through.

Also, it might be at night that the air from the day has built up so it's more uncomfortable for her which is why you don't notice it as much during the day?

Rubbing his back seemed to soothe him, but like pps have said, it got better with time. DH was always a better burper than me. He really got it out of LO.

Hang in there mama

we had this too, he grew out of it arounf 9 weeks old but we used gas drops and bicycled his legs a lot.

I feel your pain! LO is a very very gassy baby.

It does start to improve around 6-8ish weeks when their little tummies start working better, but what worked for us in the meantime was Dr. Brown's bottles (LIFESAVER!), gripe water, and ALWAYS making sure he burps after a feeding (whether it takes 20+ minutes or more - we have found massaging the back gets burps out rather well too, not just the patting - also bouncing up and down if you don't have a spitty baby!)
