Gas-related crying in babies is very common, especially in the first 3-4 months. When crying from gas, baby draws their legs to their belly, clenches their fists, their face turns red, and it typically happens shortly after feeding or during evening/night hours.
What you can do:
- Always hold baby upright for 10-15 minutes after feeding to help them burp
- Do bicycle leg movements while baby lies on their back (gently pedal their legs)
- Massage baby's belly in a clockwise direction
- Keep baby in a calm environment with dim lighting
In many babies, gas is due to the digestive system not being fully mature and passes naturally over time. However, if crying is very severe, baby isn't gaining weight, or it continues after 3-4 months, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
