#asktheexpert my 2-month-old baby farts frequently after burping and also while sleeping! Is that okay.?

A. It is quite common for two-month-old babies to pass gas frequently, especially after burping or while sleeping. At this age, their digestive system is still developing, and they may swallow air while feeding, which can lead to gas. As long as your baby is feeding well, gaining weight, and not showing signs of discomfort like excessive crying or fussiness, it should not be a major concern. However, if you notice that the gas is causing discomfort, try burping your baby more frequently during feeds or adjusting their feeding position. If the gas seems to be affecting their sleep or causing distress, it’s a good idea to consult your pediatrician for further guidance.
