Yes, babies often pass gas while breastfeeding. The air swallowed during nursing combines with the baby's not-yet-mature digestive system to produce gas very naturally. This is especially noticeable in babies who nurse quickly or start nursing after crying hard.
To reduce gas, you can try burping your baby between and after nursing by holding them upright and gently patting their back. If bottle-feeding, an upright feeding position and a bottle nipple with appropriate flow rate can help reduce air intake.
If your baby seems uncomfortable, gently pushing their legs toward their belly or doing a bicycle-pedal motion while they're on their back can help relieve gas.
