DAE have a baby that wakes up because of gas?

My little guy is a great feeder (yay) but because of that he has trouble sucking too much air. I do the regular tricks: feed-small-amounts-often, feed him upright, burp regularly, change positions while burping - BUT 9/10 of his day naps he will wake after about 30 minutes because of gas and I have to go through the process of putting him down again. Night isn’t an issue and I can only assume it’s because he feeds slower due to being sleepy. Anyone come across this or have some magic burping methods?

My boy was like this when he was a little younger so I started using Rhugar. It’s amazing. Totally natural - you can order online or from many chemist.

Have you tried doing bicycle kicks, froggy kicks, and reverse crunches? Tummy time and floor time can help. If baby likes to stand, this is perfect, help and encourage, this movement and baby moving hips will help. I looked at my diet with baby. I cut out/restricted cabbage, onion, garlic, spicy food, egg, diary products. Sitting upright and also bouncing Drink lots of water Don't let baby cry, distract her if you need to, crying will make her gassier Breastfeeding with her head above the rest of her and using anti gravity, so feeding from above. Make sure she has a good latch and isn't sucking any air. Massages, like clockwise circles and stroking downwards on tummy

This is just what I found helped my baby anyway. Hope your baby is less gassy soon.

Have also read about people expressing a little before putting baby on the boob, just to get the flow started.
