7 week old & wind - help!

please help!

my 7 1/2 week old has horrific wind after every feed. She will spend up to an hour screaming after every feed and it’s horrific to see her in so much pain - never mind how exhausting it is.

she is currently on SMA first milk formula, we have changed bottles which she is taking to better, using infacol before feeds, keeping her upright for 30 minutes, regular burping, tried gripe water and I just can’t think of any else to do to help her.

can I help her? Do I change formulas to SMA comfort? She isn’t constipated, if anything I’d say she has runny poo’s once a day.

I guess I’m concerned to change her formula incase it upsets her more but I don’t know what else to do - is this something I’ve just got to wait out until her digestive system develops better?

Just to add - she gets up lots of burps well and easily, this seems to be further down the line in her digestive system. It’s the farts that seem to cause her discomfort - if this makes a difference
