Do breastfed babies get wind?

I haven't found bf easy but now seem to be getting into the swing of it, however my little one who is now 1 week old, gets terribly grizzly after a big feed I.e 40 mins each breast. I was told by midwives, bf support worker that bf babies don't get wind, but I am sure he does. He trumps a lot and we now wind between breast change and after he does burp, and also gets hiccups. It takes ages to settle him and by the time he does, it is literally time for a feed again so that he does not go over the 4 hours they advise. The cycle is change nappy, feed, gets grizzly, winding, almighty trump and follow through, change nappy, sleeps 30 mins then we have to wake him for feed. It's such a viscious cycle for him, no wonder he is getting distressed, I just want to make it go away for for him. Anyone else have breastfed babies getting wind? Going to try infacol tomorrow. Any tips or advice?

Turno, is your baby still 100g under birthweight?
