Colic and Crying
Alternate Names : Infantile Colic
Colic and Crying: Symptoms & Signs
Colic frequently, but not always, begins at about the same time every day. For most infants the most intense fussiness is in the evening. The attack often begins suddenly. The legs may be drawn up and the belly distended. The hands may be clenched. The episode may last for minutes or hours. It often winds down when the baby is exhausted, or when gas or stool is passed.
In spite of apparent abdominal pain, colicky infants eat well and gain weight normally.
