Answer 1

Fortunately for the parents whose babies experience it, Colic typically ends by about 3 months of age and seems to leave no ill effects.

Colic is a common problem, occurring in about one out of 10 infants. It occurs equally in baby boys and baby girls, and usually begins within 10 days to three weeks after birth.

The cause of colic is unknown. There are, however, several factors that may play a role, including:

• Gas (air swallowed while nursing or crying).
• Reflux (bringing up) of stomach contents.
• Food allergies.
• Milk-protein intolerance.
• Family or caregiver stress.

Colic babies are healthy infants who have recurrent periods of inconsolable crying—without apparent reason. These sometimes occur for hours without stopping. The baby can be difficult to comfort during these stretches of time. These periods of fussiness are not linked to hunger or discomfort, and the babies are otherwise normal. They may appear to be in pain. They might arch their backs, clench their fists, or pull their legs up to their tummies. In addition, the baby's face might turn red after a long period of crying. Although the baby is fussy and cries, he or she continues to eat well and gain weight.

There is no cure for colic, but there are steps you can take to help soothe your baby. Try some or all of the following tips. You will learn which ones work for your baby and which do not.
