How to relieve gas in babies?

Lower gas in babies can most often be relieved by pedaling the legs like riding a bicycle, pressing the knees toward the belly, and when lying on their back, lifting the legs upward and slowly lowering them. Holding the baby upright after feeding and gently patting the back helps relieve both lower and upper gas. Gently massaging the belly with a warm cloth (clockwise, from the belly button outward) supports intestinal movement. In babies, lower gas is usually caused by swallowing air during feeding or because intestinal movements haven't matured yet. If your baby is constantly crying, pulling legs toward the belly, and nothing helps, it's worth consulting a pediatrician.
