what is a baby gas pillow?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A gas pillow is a slightly inclined, often vibrating support cushion designed to help ease gas pain by applying gentle pressure to a baby's belly when baby is lying face-up or face-down.

Scientific evidence for its effectiveness is limited—it works for some babies but not all. The most important safety note: This pillow should only be used while you're watching and your baby is awake. It must never be used during sleep or when unsupervised.

More reliable, evidence-based methods for gas pain include bicycle leg kicks, lying flat on the back, pacifiers, and doctor-approved medicine if needed. If your baby is crying intensely or showing other symptoms, definitely talk with your pediatrician.
