What is Colic?

Babies cry when they are hungry, when they are tired, and when they are scared. But sometimes, some babies cry because they have colic.

So what is colic–or what are indications of colic?

• a loud, constant and continuous cry for hours for no obvious reason. Babies who have colic tend to cry even after being fed and changed.
• out-of-the-ordinary things that your baby does while crying: face turning red and staying that way, tightening her hands into a fist and legs constantly kicking. If your baby typically doesn’t act this way when she is hungry or needs to be changed, your baby could have colic.
• when your baby to be unable to sleep or eat because he cannot stop crying
• Picking the baby up, and other normal comforting techniques do not seem to help as much with colicky babies, and this causes parents to worry and visit their doctor.

When the doctor cannot find a medical cause for the crying, and the baby is not hurt or hungry when he cries, then he or she is diagnosed with colic.

We don’t know yet what causes colic, but some think it has something to do with an immature nervous system or sensitive temperament of the baby. Others think it is related to the baby’s digestive system.

In particular, some doctors think the baby cries because of tummy cramps and gas buildup. This theory has not been proven, but is also not discredited.

Some cases of colic are associated with lactose intolerance, or a lack of probiotic bacteria in the baby’s gut. Eventually, babies do grow out of it, usually when they are about four months old.
