Suggestion for Infant Formula That Creates Less Gas

Hello: I am hoping that one of you might be able to point me in the right direction. I am looking for a formula that creates less gas for my 2 week old son.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, A.

Nothing is helping and I am wondering if I should back off the solid...

Newborn with Horrible Gas

My 4 week old is having horrible gas pretty much all the time but it seems like it gets worse in the afternoon & evening. She will wake up in the middle of a nap crying uncontrollably & kicking. She is on Enfamil Lipil formula. We've recently switched to a different type of bottle to see if that would help. We've tried Mylicon drops, pumping her legs up & down to release the gas, put a warm washcloth over her tummy & nothing really seems to be helping her. I have called her doctor's office to ask if I should switch her formula & to see...
