My little one has a bad habbit of gobbling. He starts sucking before he is attached properly. This gives us such a tummy ache later, as we swallow so much air. I give him cooled boiled water before his morning feed (his worst feed) but doesnt always help.
Oh, one tip, he doesnt like water, but he LOVES his Pentavite, so I give him a couple of drops of Pent, and while hes mooshing it round his mouth, I give him some water, keep doing this till he's had all of both.
You could try putting him face down across your knees to burp him, so that there is a bit of pressure on him belly.
Whenever Flynn got really grumpy I would give him some gripe water. You can get it at Coles in the baby aisle. Flynn would gobble it up and it usually made him fart.
Good Luck

Hi there
Hannah used to suffer from wind pain and so i took her to a Bowen Practitioner - it cost me nothing. She recommended i use some Schuessler Tissue Salts Oral spray (you can get them from the chemist) Acid neutraliser. I found that it worked quickly and did the trick for Hannah.
Have you tried a warm bath and cycling his legs?
Also Infants Friend or Infacol can sometimes help and there is a product called Donnalix but you need to talk to your Dr before using it.
Good luck and i hope he grows out of it soon for you.
Another suggestion is just to push his legs so his knees press into his tummy. Not hard but definitely lift his bottom off the ground a few centimetres.
Also firmly rubbing his tummy from chest down to pelvis also worked for us.
We had bad wind for a while and the only thing that worked was a pretty unorthodox method of burping. We would put her belly on our shoulder and then rock her backwards over it. Firm hold all the time of course. It looks a bit strange but it worked. We tried Infacol and Infants friend and gripe water and none of it worked for us. We did the over the knee thing too when we were out in public cause it looks a bit awful hanging your baby over your shoulder.
Good luck and I hope you find something that works.
For our DS we found that, Marinas Mixture works fantastically!
I have also recently discovered that if I put him on my shoulder and kind of bounce up and down while patting his back, that we can get some of the nasty wind up as well.
