Gassy baby!!

Ok, so this is the most common complaint ever, but I am at my wits' end! Anyone have any tips for a gassy baby? He is 4 weeks old, and will only fall asleep on his tummy on my chest or in his basket. I have had 10 mins sleep in the last 2 days! I have been really careful of what I eat (I have been quite gassy myself - sorry, Too Much Info) but have totally eliminated the obvious culprits. He goes to sleep for 10 minutes and then wakes up. I have tried Ovol which only sometimes helps.
HELLLLLLLLLLP!

What makes you think he is "gassy" . If he'll sleep in a basket he's doing ok tbh , perhaps swaddling might help. are you worried about him not being on his back ? You could try some fennel tea to aid digestion or maybe elevate the head of his mattress so he sleeps slightly sloping. However erratic sleep is fairly normal in a lo .Do you have a partner to share the wakefulness?
