Since birth my 6 month old doesn't burp much when she is nursed, but she will fart a lot. does farting get gas and air bubbles out the same way?

Has to go somewhere: Gas in infants is very common and usually benign. I wouldn't worry as gas usually exits out one end or the other. If it becomes problematic some doctors may suggest mylicon/gasex.

No: Much better and more efficient to lose gas bubbles by burping. Lower abdominal gas is also much more uncomfortable.

10: Most nursed babies don't get a lot of extra air because unlike bottles the is no air trapped in the breast. Occasionally a baby will snort air through the nose and sound like a piglet when nursing. Gas can also be passed from below. As long as the baby is not fussy you do not need to worry.
