Here’s what I’ve read about relieving gas for baby: - Burp baby as often as possible. Can also try different burping positions (such as 'over the shoulder pat', ' over the knee pat' or 'knee bounce' or just let your baby sit upright while you pat his/her back) - Carry baby around in an upright position. This will help bring up any extra air instead of trapping it. - Give your baby a tummy massage to help release trapped air. Do it half an hour after feeds and when baby is showing signs of bloating. - Giving a warm bath may also help baby relax and getting the gas out of his/her system.

Adding on to the rest, you can also do tummy massages and leg exercises for LO to expel the gas! You can do simple "I Love You" tummy massage for LO, refer to photo for reference - it helps with gas and bowel movement issues :) If you want to do leg exercises, you can lie LO down and do cycling motions with his legs - then hold his legs straight and tuck both legs to his chest so his knees are chest level! Repeat for a few times and it helps to "push" the gas out :)
