How do you comfort a baby with gas?

My baby is 1 year old. I want to know how do you comfort a baby with gas?

At this age, it is hard to comfort a child with gas. Your best option is to give gas drops. There are many over the counter forms of simethicone drops. She can have 0.6 ml every 4 hours. I find it is better to give the drops to prevent gas, than to wait and give when she already is miserable with gas. You can also use maalox or mylanta and give 2.5 ml every 4-6 hours
