What is Colic?" Colic is a general term used to describe an otherwise healthy baby who cries more than three hours a day for more than three days a week, for more than three weeks. A baby with colic will often cry inconsolably, around the same time of day, usually late afternoon or evening, despite all attempts to comfort them. Colic affects around 25% of infants in the first year of life. Symptoms may appear in babies within the first two to four weeks of life and usually improve by the time the baby is three to four months of age, but can last up to 12 months. Always check with your pediatrician to rule out any other options before diagnosing and treating your baby for colic. Causes and Symptoms The exact cause of colic is unknown; however, researchers have many theories as to what it may be. Some possibilities include: under-developed nervous system, allergies, lactose intolerance, immature digestive system, anxiety, or over activity. What You Can Do Although colic will improve on its own, it can be an extremely distressing time while you are going through it. Many parents feel angry, frustrated or guilty, and often feel like they are doing something wrong because despite their best efforts, they cannot comfort their baby. There are, however, some things you can do that may help calm and soothe your baby. Just keep in mind that each baby is different and you will have to discover what works for you. Try each suggestion one at a time at first to see if you can rule out any potential causes of your baby’s fussiness. Using a combination of the tips suggested below usually proves to be the most helpful. Change formulas - Many experts believe colic is related to your baby's digestion. Try switching to a "hypoallergenic" formula. Try a different feeding technique - If you normally nurse on both breasts, switch to just one prolonged feeding on one breast. Some research shows this can cut colic in half. Sometimes more frequent but smaller feedings are helpful. For many babies, suck is a soothing activity. Try giving you baby a pacifier. Even if you're breast-feeding, it's OK to offer a pacifier to help your baby calm down. Motion - Many parents say gentle motion is helpful. Try rocking you baby in your arms or in an infant swing or lay your baby tummy down on your knees and then sway your knees slowly. Try taking your abby for a walk or a drive. Using a vibrating infant seat or vibrating crib may also help. Swaddling - Babies are comforted by being held closely. Try swaddling your baby in a lightweight blanket. Others may be comforted just by cuddling. Create soothing noise, some babies are comforted by steady background noise. A fan, white noise maker, or a CD with sounds such as the ocean or a waterfall may help. Try huming, quietly making a "shh" sound or singing a lullaby. Even if your baby dosen't completely stop crying, it may help keep you both calm and pass the time. Gentle massage or heat - Try giving you baby a warm bath. Sofly massage your baby, especially around the tummy area. Change your diet - If you breast-feed, eliminating certain foods may help your baby. Try el
