My 5 month old has gas problems. Other than gripe water (which doesn't seem to be helping), what can I do? Would really appreciate any home remedies!

In general, babies have plenty of opportunities to swallow air thus making them gassy; like when they feed from a breast or bottle, suck a pacifier or cry. Thus, if your baby is generally happy and only fusses for a few seconds while passing gas, that’s a sign that it’s normal. Some ways to alleviate baby's discomfort caused by gas include giving baby a warm bath with baby wash infused with lavender and chamomile. This can relax baby's muscles and helps him release the gas. You can also gently massage baby's tummy in circular motions to alleviate the discomfort. http://sg.theasianparent.com/helping-your-baby-to-relieve-gas/

2 things that you should do the entire day is: 1. keep burping the baby after each feed and also at regular intervals through the day 2. place baby on the bed on the back, and move the legs in a cycling motion in addition, you can massage your baby's navel area with a mix of heeng and water and keep rubbing the area in circular motions to ease out gas. if your baby is on the bottle, use the ones that are anti-colic and will prevent the formation of any air bubbles. Dr Brown bottles are really good in this case

My son suffered from gas previous too and would get extremely cranky. What helped me aside from gripe water was regularly doing bicycle kicks with my son. He loves it & thinks I'm playing with him hahaha. Also, since he's bottle fed, I'll stop and burp him every now and then before continueing. Changing bottle teats might help reduce the gas as well. Here's an article that could help you. http://www.parents.com/videos/device/mobile/v/61652485/how-to-relieve-baby-s-gas.htm
