subject: Colic Symptoms and Treatments In Babies [print this page] Are you worried about your newborn baby care? Well, you have a lot of reasons to justify that concern, and one of them is colic. Colic will often infect babies that are younger than three months of age - about a fifth or more of them actually.
The main symptom for the disease is a lot of crying which might be attributed to other things, or caused by other things, so it might be overlooked - especially since it goes away after several days to several weeks. Other related symptoms are gas and discomfort.
The cause for colic is yet unclear, so taking care of your baby's health is tricky. It is thought that frustration and excitement - sometimes even fear, can cause it, which is usually transferred from the parent to the child. Episodes of colic can take several minutes and sometimes pass after passing gas and stool, or after the baby is very tired.
If your baby cries a lot, and if you are concerned about your baby's health, you can take him or her to a doctor for an examination. The information you'll need to provide the doctor will be about the baby's crying habits - how long each crying episode happens, when it stops, when do they begin, when are they the most frequent, etc.
All of this information is used to determine if the baby is suffering from colic or from something else entirely.
Once it is established that colic is the cause, certain food products and dietary changes, as well as medication changes and formula changes, need to be enacted.
