The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Babies passing gas from below (farting) is completely normal digestive process. Especially in the first months when the digestive system is still maturing, babies can pass gas 15-20 times a day.
Situations considered normal:
- If baby doesn't look uncomfortable when passing gas
- Whether the gas is smelly or odorless, both are normal
- Passing gas with or independent of bowel movements
When to be concerned:
- If baby seems to struggle to pass gas, shows pain, pulls legs to belly
- If baby hasn't passed gas for 2 days and seems uncomfortable
- If severe bloating, vomiting, or bloody stool accompanies gas
If these signs appear, I recommend consulting a pediatrician. But in general, babies passing gas is a sign of healthy digestion.
