Colic is identified as an unusually intense crying of a healthy infant. Colic is likely to start in an infant around the age of 2- weeks and it goes away naturally by the age of 3 to 4 months. It can be seen in infants regardless of their gender, their birth order, and even whether they are breastfed or bottle-fed. So in other words, kids with colic grow up healthy like any other child.
Causes of Colic
The exact causes of colic are still unknown. However, certain theories say why colic happens to an infant.
Symptoms of Colic
Infants with colic pain show more or less similar symptoms and start crying mostly in the evening.
Colic Treatment
