Can a 3-month-old pass gas on their own?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A 3-month-old can begin to pass gas on their own, but it's not the same for every baby. At this stage, the digestive system begins to mature, so some babies pass gas more easily while others still need help. Factors like the amount of air swallowed during feeding or bottle, baby's position, and individual differences affect this. Generally, from 3-4 months onward, gas-passing reflexes develop and babies can start passing gas on their own. However, they may still occasionally need help with back rubbing or upright positioning. If your baby seems uncomfortable, crying, or having trouble sleeping due to gas, there's no harm in providing gas support.
