I just had a baby, and now I'm really gassy. What’s wrong?

The pressure on your pelvic floor muscles and anus cause it to be more difficult for you to control your gas. Constipation can also lead to more farts. Haha. Maybe you could be more precise to tell us what you have been eating during confinement? Your gas may not be due to having a baby at all! ;) A change in diet or swallowing too much air when eating can also cause you to be gassy. Certain vegetables, fruits and starchy food can cause gas as well. Milk and dairy products or oatmeal that you consume as a milk booster can also cause gas in you. http://www.everydayhealth.com/digestive-health-pictures/7-top-gas-producing-foods.aspx
