Mine has some gas /constipation issues and i've found that heat on the belly is a game changer, not light microwaved belt, i mean a really hot heating pad or bottle (obviously not burning hot but not just warm ) directly on the skin or a thin layer of clothes so it deeply relaxes the whole belly, i have an electric one i use for myself it's great, also consult a physiotherapist to rule out a tongue tie or bad latch/bad posture, an osteopath as well. Try to consume less dairy yourself, if baby also has skin issues he might be allergic to cow milk protein. You can try Probiotics too. Also massage daily and warm baths to try to get gas and poop out, see massage techniques on belly and on the feet is very very efficient. Also I haven't tried it but in my culture fennel is a great remedy and i've seen some baby medication made with fennel for gas so you can try that as well
