Parents and caregivers are often surprised by the amount of gas their little one is capable of producing in the first year of life! Even with the best digestive circumstances, an infant can pass gas around 21 times a day.
Although gas can lead to tummy pain, it is important to remember that this is often a normal part of an immature digestive system. No matter if you breastfeed, bottle feed, or a combination of both, the majority of infants will outgrow this phase by the time they are 4 to 6 months old, though for some, baby gas can last longer.
