Neonatal intestinal gas typically resolves by 3–4 months of age, though the exact timeline depends on the individual infant’s condition. Infants with robust physical health and milder symptoms often improve by around 3 months, whereas those with weaker constitutions or more severe symptoms may require 4 months—or even longer—for full resolution. During this period, it is essential to establish proper feeding practices and closely monitor the infant’s overall health.
