Hello! Thank you for writing. It is normal for your baby to have gases. Usually it lasts until about four months, so don't worry. After you feed milk to your baby try to put him up lying with the head to your shoulder for 10 minutes rubbing her back in order to get rid of gases. Try to put her mouth good around the areola in order not to suck air. Feed your baby frequently in order not to have hunger because if she has hunger he suck air during milk feeding. I don't recommend you to use cola for your baby. It will pass as your baby grows old and the organism adapt gradually. Best regard
