Colic is one of those conditions that affect babies - one that just doesn't seem fair! Your baby is so very new to this big world and what an introduction to life!
Colic usually begins between 0 and 2 months and while not all infants have colic, it is a fairly common problem experienced in the first few months of life. The good news is that there are a few simple ways to help soothe your infant's crying and discomfort, and while it can be a terribly frustrating time for you and baby, colic is a temporary phase that will eventually end. By 3 months, the colic should pass and you and your baby can return back to your usual sleep routines. Colic is usually recognized when your well-fed, healthy and otherwise satisfied infant won't stop crying. While all babies cry (as it is their only means of communication), babies with colic cry much more than usual, and when they cry it seems that little can console them. Colic is usually diagnosed or confirmed if your baby cries more than three hours each day over a period of three weeks or more and no other cause is found. As your baby cries, it is also common to see them clench their little firsts, pull up their legs, tighten their abdominal muscles and squirm into different positions to try and relieve the tummy cramps.
If your baby's crying is worrying you, your baby's pediatrician will check for other causes of discomfort such as intestinal obstruction, or illness and if nothing is found, colic is often the diagnosis. Other tests are generally not necessary, as colic, while distressing for baby and family, is not serious and not associated with other complications. There is little known about what causes colic, although, research agrees that colic is a gastrointestinal problem possibly associated with an immature digestive system. Other theories suggest that it is caused by lactose intolerance, allergies, mother's anxiety or the different positions that baby is fed. Whatever the underlying cause, colic is often associated with painful stomach cramps or stomach ache and gas and many parents have noticed that their infants do feel better after they have passed wind or had a bowel movement.
