Baby colic, also known as infantile colic, is not a disease but a combination of baffling behaviors. It typically does not result in long term problems
Doctors diagnose an infant's colic on basis of "rules of three for Your baby's crying":
•baby's crying Lasts at least three hours at a stretch
•crying Occurs at least three days a week
•crying Persists for at least three weeks in a row
colic signs and symptoms could be:-
•Crying occurs at the same time every day (usually in the late afternoon or early evening, but it can vary).
•Crying seems to occur for no reason (not because baby has a dirty diaper or is hungry or tired).
•Baby may pull up his legs, clench his fists and generally move his legs and arms more.
•He also often will close his eyes or open them very wide, furrow his brow, even hold his breath briefly.
•Bowel activity may increase, and he may pass gas or spit up.
•Eating and sleeping are disrupted by the crying — baby frantically seeks a nipple only to reject it once sucking has begun, or dozes for a few moments only to wake up screaming.
Causes of colic could be:- An infant's immature digestive system, acid reflux, Food allergies or sensitivity, environmental disturbances etc.
Infant with Colic may affect family stability and be a cause of short-term anxiety or depression in the father and mother. It may also contribute to exhaustion and stress in the parents especially mothers.
