Pediatrician,  's  Response
hi... first of all let me tell u...all babies pass gas because they swallow air more than adults during feeding.i am more
interested in knowing whether there is any change in his stool frequency and nature( more softer or harder than before) . if there is no change in stool , no abdominal distension, no vomiting, then don't be worried about the gas...
At this age you should concentrate more on solid foods rather than milk. give 3 to 4 meals per day.one banana, one egg per day. don't use mixer grinder. make the paste with hand. and very importantly don't use bottle to feed milk...use cup and spoon. Approximately a one year baby should have 40-45% of the amount of food her mother takes in a day..
