Newborn & passing gas
My NB is 2 weeks and he seems to be in pain everytime he wants to fart. He also struggles to burp.
Any advice on how to ease the pain for him or help him burp.

I used Mylicon drops. Get with your pediatrician first since he is small. I was about to give my NB it when he was about 3 weeks old. Just follow the instructions carefully. You can also put it in his bottle if you bottle feed at all :)
I was able to give*
When I bounce my baby on my lap, supporting her neck it moves the gas up to burp real fast. Just do it gently. Also sitting your baby up or tummy time helps the burp out fast. Take breaks in between the feed to burp. You can do stomach massage with baby oil for the gas

Mine was like this too, so hard to watch. Leg bicycles, bum pats, tummy massages. But honestly he's fine, he shouldn't be in pain. Just getting used to his body and new sensations, I wad scared too. But the nurse reassured me if they can be soothed it's okay x
