Have you ever just read the definition os colic?
Baby colic (also known as infantile colic) is defined as episodes of crying for more than three hours a day for more than three days a week for three weeks in an otherwise healthy child between the ages of two weeks and four months.[1] The cause of the colic is generally unknown.[2] Less than 5% of infants with excess crying have an underlying organic disease.[2]
Crying associated with a baby's colic can cause relationship stress, breastfeeding failure, postpartum depression, excess visits to the doctor, and child abuse, such as shaken baby syndrome.[3]
It is present in between 5 and 25% of infants. Treatment is generally conservative with little to no role for medications, either conventional or alternative. It often disappears when the baby is three to four months old, but can last up to one year.[4] There are no long term problems associated with the condition.
I'm just gonna dominate this forum because people RARELY come on here. People need to come on here more! Everyone needs support.
I will not forget colic, I won't give up on questioning it. And I will over post on here if I have to!
