What Cause Increased Frequency Of Flatus In A Bab?y

my newborn (5wks old) passes gas a lot and i can hear his stomach rumble when he is eating. He seems fussy a lot and usually quiets when he is held. Could the gas be causing him pain? whats is the stomach noise? Whar can we do if this is causing him discomfort?

Pediatrician 's  Response
passing gases in an infant is quite normal , breastfeeding him might help a lot cause the breast milk has prebiotic and probiotics which the materials needed for growth and function of his gut
if that is not possible you can try formula milk which has the word EC on it ( extra care )
I hope this helps
