Description

Almost all children experience pain in the abdomen at one time or another. Most of the time, it is not caused by a serious medical problem. Baby colic (also known as Infantile colic) is defined as episodes of crying for more than three hours a day, for more than three days a week, for three weeks in an otherwise healthy child between the ages of two weeks and four months.

What Causes Colic?

Despite many scientific studies, no single common cause for colic has been found. The fussiness of colic has many different causes & that’s why there is no one way to help it. In infants, prolonged unexplained crying (often called “”colic””) may be caused by abdominal pain. It may end with the passage of gas or stool. Colic is often worse in the evening. Cuddling and rocking the child may bring some relief.

Less serious causes of abdominal pain include:

• Constipation in Irritable bowel syndrome
• Food allergies or intolerance, perhaps due to intolerance of cow’s milk protein or lactose
• Heartburn or acid reflux, Stomach flu or Food poisoning (Salmonella, Shigella)
• An immature digestive system in which the intestinal muscles are often in spasm
• Air (gas) in the intestinal tract
• Increased hormone levels that cause stomach aches or a fussy mood
• Hypersensitivity to a stimulation in the environment (sound, light, etc.)
• An intense temperament in the newborn period
• An immature nervous system
