To sign *gassy*, hold your non-dominant hand flat across your stomach area with the palm facing down. Form an 'A' handshape (a fist with the thumb resting on the side) with your dominant hand and position it below your non-dominant hand. Move your dominant hand upward so it bumps into the palm of your non-dominant hand. Don't forget to include a facial expression that shows slight discomfort!
Sign 'eat', 'finish', then use the sign for 'gassy' while showing a slight grimace on your face to indicate discomfort.
Sign 'baby', 'cry', 'why', and then 'gassy' to explain the reason for the fussiness.
Point to the person, sign 'feel', and then 'gassy' while raising your eyebrows and leaning forward to ask a yes/no question.
