Hello,
Formula feeds cause abdomen bloating and pain with gas. Breast milk wouldn't cause these issues. To prevent bloating, after every feed, baby must be held upright till it burps. Avoid baby from lying down immediately after feeding. Avoid formula feed or try another formula that would be less gassy. If pain is too much that baby is crying and unable to sleep, you can use colic aid syrup.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
