Gas relief drops for a newborn

Question

Asked for Female, 29 Years

Hi doctor, I'm a lactating mother of a 21 day old baby. He suffers from gas discomfort hence unable to sleep for long time. I've heard that gas relief drops contain alcohol or some type of sedative which makes the baby sleep. Hence some people are asking me to avoid it. Can you please suggest if there is anything that I can give him for gas pain?
