How to help baby pass gas?

One of the most common and effective ways to help babies pass gas is to hold them upright after feeding and gently pat their back. You can lean your baby against your shoulder, supporting their head and back with one hand while gently patting their back from bottom to top with the other. Another method is to lay your baby face-down on your lap and gently push their legs toward their belly to help the gas come out. Also, bicycle leg movements can help ease gas discomfort. If your baby seems uncomfortable and is struggling to pass gas, gently massaging their belly with a warm cloth or compress can be soothing. If you're breastfeeding, make sure your baby is latching correctly; if using a bottle, choosing anti-colic (low-air) bottles and ensuring the nipple is full of milk also helps. If gas is ongoing and your baby shows weight gain concerns, vomiting, or excessive crying, I'd suggest checking with your pediatrician.
