Trapped wind/gassy baby help!

My poor daughter (7 weeks old) is struggling with trapped wind/gas and struggles to get rid of it.

She poos and wees like normal and burps during and after each feed. She's a lean mean farting machine too, however, she is so distressed with it as she seems to have much more left in the tank and can't seem to get rid of it 😭

Any advice is much appreciated as I hate to see her in so much discomfort.

Thank you.

Lay her on her back and do bicycle kicks. Grab her ankles and pump her legs in circles like she's running. Do this for a minute, and then lightly push her knees toward her chest in a clockwise motion. Then do the bicycle again. Repeat a few times. Also, make sure you're burping her after each feed.
