How to Get Rid of GAS in an Infant

Does anyone have an ideas how to get rid of GAS? My daughter is only 1 month old, and has gas so bad, that she cries after she eats. I've tried rubbing her stomach, mylicon drops, warm compresses on her stomach, warm baths and laying her on my stomach. I don't lay her down after she eats for 30 mins, then I lay her down, but she cries from the gas. She is bottle feed with breast milk and formula. I have tried to just breast feed, but she wont latch on.. I'm open to any suggestion to get rid of the gas. Thank you for all your help, it's...

Baby's Poo Burned Her Bottom :(

My 15month old daughter had a poo that burned her bottom so badly there are even 2 small spots where the skin is a little broken from blistering. Has anyone experienced this?There were no new or acidic foods and she's not sick, I'm not sure what could have caused it. It happened late yesterday afternoon at daycare, and when I got her home to bathe her she couldn't even sit in the water and cried from pain, it was awful. I put lots of diaper cream for the night and this morning it was better, it also seemed to be healing throughout the day....

Is My 7 Month Old Constipated?

For the last day or so my 7-month old seems to be working very hard to get out clay-like poop. He has always been fairly dramatic when he poops, but today he seemed to push on and off all morning before getting out a gumball-sized turd. Is he constipated? If so, what can I do? He is breastfeeding, taking one bottle of formula per day, and eating lots of things like rice, bananas, avocados, zucchini, carrots, apples, pears, etc. Do the rice, bananas and/or avocados constipate him? He drinks some water but not much. Should I try juice?
