1 month old baby passing gas but not having bowel movements?

In 1-month-olds, passing gas shows their intestines are working, but doesn't necessarily mean a bowel movement is coming. At this age, some babies have several stools daily while others might go days without one — this is especially normal if breastfeeding. What matters is your baby's overall condition: if their belly isn't swollen and hard, there's no fussiness, and when stools come they're normal color and consistency (yellow, mustard-like, runny), then going days without a bowel movement is fine. If your baby is fussy, belly feels tense, stools are very hard or pellet-like (like rabbit droppings), or if they don't have bowel movements while also having vomiting, fever, or reduced feeding — contact your pediatrician.
