To tell baby movements from gas colic, the most obvious difference appears in the accompanying signs.
Normal movements: Baby kicks legs, opens arms, stretches, yawns — these usually last briefly, baby's face looks relaxed, no crying, baby settles with touch.
Gas colic: Baby draws legs to belly, may arch back, face scrunches, fists clench tightly. Movements are accompanied by fussiness, whimpering, and sudden crying that waxes and wanes. Crying usually starts shortly after feeding; holding baby upright or doing bicycle leg movements brings temporary relief.
Gas colic typically shows up between 2-6 weeks, peaks around 3-4 months, then fades — this is normal development. If movements are regular, baby seems cheerful, and weight gain is good, there's nothing to worry about.
