Colic - Prevention Is Better Than Cure
Firstly we need to establish what the term ‘colic’ means. Colic is the term given to the build up of gases in babies causing pain and discomfort. It is not an illness or a serious medical condition; it is however, very draining for both mother and baby.
The main symptom of colic is usually constant crying for no apparent reason. For example your baby won’t be hungry, need their nappy changed or have a temperature, they will not want to be laid down, sat up, played with or left alone. Nothing you do will ease their crying. Most babies have a colicky time of day, which is usually in the afternoon or early evening. The good news is that colic normally passes by the age of 3-4 months.
