Overview

Colic can be a difficult condition to live with. After all, as a new parent you’re likely to already be lacking sleep, and you’ll want to ensure your baby is comfortable. If they’re crying for no obvious reason, despite being dry, comfortable and fed, you may blame yourself for their discomfort.

Unfortunately, colic doesn’t have a recognised cause. Indeed, it is defined as your baby crying for more than 3 hours a day, for more than 3 days a week, for more than 3 weeks - despite being healthy, fed and comfortable.

The lack of a recognised cause for the crying is what makes it colic. But that doesn’t mean there is nothing you can do about colic. There are several colic remedies that can help soothe your baby.


What causes colic?

There are several theories about the cause of colic. These include:

  • The digestive system growing, and spasming as it develops
  • Hormones that cause stomach pains
  • The developing nervous system
  • A sensitivity to light
  • Frustration or excitement

What is known, is that colic generally begins around two weeks of age in full-term babies and slightly later in premature babies, your baby may experience colic at around the same time of day, it can happen regardless of the baby’s gender and how they are fed.

Fortunately, it tends to go away by the time your baby is about four months, and it doesn’t have any long term effects. There are also remedies available to treat colic and help you and your baby get some much needed rest.
