baby gas and apple cider oil?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Gas is a common concern for babies in their early months. While some families have heard of "apple cider oil" as a remedy, current pediatric guidance does not recommend giving any herbal oils by mouth to babies—especially in the first 6 months. These products don't have enough scientific evidence of safety and effectiveness in babies, and oils can irritate a baby's sensitive digestive system and pose a choking risk.

Safer, well-tested ways to help gas: hold your baby upright for 10–15 minutes after feeding for burping, bicycle leg kicks, gently moving their legs in circles while lying on their back, and gentle belly massage with a warm cloth. If you're breastfeeding, limiting gas-producing foods in your own diet (cabbage, onion, beans) sometimes helps. If your baby is very uncomfortable or showing vomiting, bloody stool, or poor weight gain, talk to your pediatrician right away.
