Telling movement apart from gas in babies can be tricky, but there are some clues:
Gas signs: Baby's face gets red, pulls legs up toward belly, makes tight fists, looks tense and uncomfortable. It usually happens after feeding or when falling asleep, and baby relaxes once the gas comes out.
Movement signs: Baby looks peaceful, calm expression, arms and legs moving freely and happily, yawning. You see it when baby's awake and it comes and goes without a pattern.
Quick test: Hold your baby upright and pat their back gently. If it's gas, you'll see relief after burping; if it's movement, baby just keeps going the same way. If intense gas complaints last longer than 2-3 weeks, check with your pediatrician.
