How much gas is too much gas?

I think DS is pretty gassy, but aren't all babies?  Is there a point at which I should take him to the doctors about it?  

He has a tongue tie that we never got clipped because he was feeding and gaining fine, but someone mentioned to me yesterday that this could be causing the gas with him.  So, I curious if I should try and take him in to ask about the tongue tie again or wait a few weeks until his 4 month check-up.

    I guess it would be considered too much if baby seems uncomfortable. If he seems fine, I would just wait.

    My son had a tongue tie that was fixed.  He is 12 weeks now, and I would say pretty much as gassy as he was before the tongue tie was fixed at 2 weeks.  I could see how it might cause gas though because when they have a tongue tie they have to work extra hard to eat so maybe swallow a lot of air in the process?

    As far as getting the tongue tie fixed...it was over before he knew it.  A tiny bit of blood but really no big deal.  FYI in case you are considering having it done sometime.  My son was gaining a little slow and eating non-stop so we had it fixed.  I was also worried that it would cause problems with speech in the future.

    My 3 month old is pretty gassy. I figure as long as he passes it then he's alright for now.

    DD farts a ton. We just found out she's got a little tongue tie and lip tie so maybe that's why! I never was concerned by the farting because it doesn't bother her. She mostly does it in her sleep.
