My son has really painful gas and the drops don't seem to be helping. What else can I do for him? He's 6 weeks old.

Oh gosh, it's been awhile since my daughter has had this problem. Let me see if I can remember....there was one remedy that a friend told me to try which was a baby spoon full of red jello mixed with a few ounces of water. That helped a bit. Also, I always used the old fashioned bicycle trick. Where you lay them on their back and take their legs and act like they are riding a bike. That works wonders for most kids.

Thanx for your response! I'll have to try the jello thing. The bucycle thing helps a little, but he usually screams as I do it.
