Many parents become frustrated when their newborn develop colic.
The continuous screaming every night for hours on end, can't
help but be disturbing. New mothers often feel they must be
doing something wrong or worse yet that there is something wrong
with their baby.
Most new mothers are not aware that almost all babies develop a
fussy period and the actuality of colic is present in one form
or another. Colic is not an illness or a physical disorder.
Doctorsdefine colic as3 or more hours a day of continued

obvious signs such as: hunger, wet diaper, or gas, and in many
cases, the child cannot be comforted or soothed. There is good
news though, colic generally does not last beyond the first
three months!
Several studies that involved more than 12,000 babies have
indicated that mothers who smoke during pregnancy face almost
twice the risk of having a baby with colic. Exposure to second
hand smoke also appears to increase the risk for colic.
Parents dealing with a colicky baby need to be observant and
patient. Experimenting may be required to find ways to comfort
your baby. Holding your baby is notably the most effective way

Interestingly, one doctor commented that "the more hours they
are held, even early in the day when they are not fussy, the
less time they will be fussy in the evening." Holding your new
baby does not spoil your child! Swinging, rocking or singing
lullabyes can also be effective.

Breastfeeding mothers who eat gas producing food DO NOT induce
gas or crying in their babies. The gas mothers may get from gas
producing food comes from the undigested part that remains in
their intestines. The portion that enters the blood stream and
then makes its way to the breastmilk is not the part that
produces the gas in the first place. It was mentioned that a
single glass of wine in the evening may be good for both mom and
baby. Foods that should be avoided would include caffeinated
beverages, chocolate, nuts and possibly some dairy products or
spices. Caring for a colicky baby can be exhausting for the
already worn out mom. Colic is no-ones fault, so don't burden
yourself with extra stress and guilt. Do your best to relax and
remember that your baby will outgrow it.
If you are ever unsure whether your baby's crying is colic or a
symptom of another illness, check with your pediatrician, by all
means!
