In the newborn period, baby gas passing is completely reflexive and depends on the digestive system not being fully mature. Babies can pass gas from birth, but controlled and comfortable passage usually develops around 3-4 months. This is because abdominal muscles and the nerve system regulating intestinal movement need to mature. Common gas colic in early months naturally decreases as both the digestive system and muscle control develop. By 6 months, most babies pass gas much more comfortably. If gas problems persist significantly after 6 months or are accompanied by other signs like poor weight gain or constant fussiness, it's worth discussing with your pediatrician.
