| Colic
- When to call your doctor
Colic starts
at about 2 to 4 weeks of age and persists until 3 months and rarely
up to 6 months. While it may be related to an immature gastrointestinal
tract, the baby’s growth is not effected.
There is no relationship
between a colicky baby and growing into a discontented child. Many
such babies develop sunny and happy dispositions.
Just take a deep breath.
Give yourself some free time away from a crying baby. Don’t
stress out and within a few short months you will once again have
a happy and delightful baby that you can enjoy.
