Gas relief products (gas drops, gas tea, fennel water, etc.) are frequently used aids for babies, but scientific evidence for their effectiveness is limited.
Pediatric perspective: Gas drops (containing simethicone) are generally considered safe because they're not absorbed from the intestines—they just help gas bubbles combine and pass more easily. However, they haven't been shown to work for every baby. Fennel tea or fennel-based products may provide relief in some babies, but due to allergy risk and dosage control concerns, they're not recommended for babies under 6 months without doctor approval.
Try non-medication methods first: Cycling the baby's legs, gently pushing their legs toward their belly while lying on their back, doing gas exercises, and burping after feeding—these often work.
If your baby seems constantly uncomfortable, pulling their legs to their belly, having trouble passing gas, and this is affecting weight gain or sleep, there might be an underlying reflux or other digestive issue. In that case, consulting a pediatrician is best. Gas pain usually decreases on its own around 3-4 months.
