Do massage everyday and specially tummy massage more. 
  breast Feed ur baby as per demand  
It will help 
Burp properly at least 10 min or till baby take 4 burp 
Keep hydration well
Baby should pass minimum urine 6-8 times per day 
If baby is feeling discomfort and crying inconsolably  then 
Need to do rectal stimulation, apply some drops of oil over rectal area

Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please massage baby stomach with BabyHug  coconut oil clockwise and anti-clockwise. You can also apply hing water on baby stomach. Also do some cycling leg exercises of the baby to relieve from constipation and gas. Please make the baby burp after every feed. Mother should chew saunf and ajwain after every meal. 
Thanks and take care
