What is wind in babies?

Modified on Mon, 21 Nov, 2022 at 4:41 PM

Wind is air that a baby has swallowed whilst they are feeding, crying or yawning. Wind is common from newborns to around 3 months of age, as the baby’s digestive system is maturing. Common signs of trapped wind include squirming or crying during a feed, or looking uncomfortable and in pain if laid down after feeds.
