Gassy 20 month old

My daughter literally screams every night and stays up for hours in the middle of the night cuz she’s so gassy and bloated. It’s very overwhelming especially doing it alone , my husband works graves . I try everything , gas relief drops , gripe water , belly messages , you name it .. nothing helps. Is there something u use to help with relieving gas and pain for your baby?

Are you using a sensitive stomach formula? My son was very gassy in the beginning and we switched him to the orange can of similac for sensitive tummies and it helped a lot.

Maybe a formula change if still on it for easy digestive, have you tried baby like heating pad? Depending on how bowel movements are I would suggest miralax with Dr. Concent. It would help unblock her. My son went on it because kept having issues when we traveled or to much cereal in bottle. So we have some on hand always. But I give motrin incase it hurts and of course not really sure what hurts and then gas drops. It says you can do multiple times if need to I believe

I had to change my babies formula I tried a few, the sensitive, total comfort. She was still super gassy, bloated and actually ended up constipated. She didn't poop for about 3 days . I asked my Dr if Maybe she was dairy free ? He literally didn't even help me just told me' yeah you can try different formulas and use the gripe water it's normal". And I'm just like wtf it can't be normal for you baby to be struggling. So I just decided to do it. I switched her to enfamil prosobee plant based formula. Baby girl has been amazing since pooped 2 times after just feeding her a few bottles of it. Her tummy is so much better she rarely gets gas anymore . And I don't even need gripe water anymore. (And we used it alot!)
