What is colic?
Colic is when an otherwise healthy baby becomes irritable, fussy and cries for hours on end, usually three or more hours a day without any consolation. Although many parents may not know what colic is and be very worried that their baby is crying nonstop, colic is quite common among newborns.
There is no one proven cause of colic. Most babies will cry for 2-3 hours a day, but this is normally spread out through the day. Just because a baby is crying a lot does not mean they have colic. Colic normally begins around 2-3 weeks of age and ends around 4 months of age. A good way to tell if it truly is colic is the time of day a baby cries. Normally, a colicky baby will begin to cry in the early evening and will cry non-stop for about 3-4 hours for weeks on end. They may have a loud cry, distended belly and usually will pull their legs up and ball their fists.
It is important to get your baby checked out by a doctor to rule out any other causes for their non-stop crying. Most doctors will agree that if you have a colicky baby, it is best to keep them on their regular feeding schedule and not to overfeed them. Many doctors will recommend gripe water which can be very effective at calming down a baby.
