Colic and Crying
Alternate Names : Infantile Colic
Definition
Almost all babies go through a fussy period. When crying lasts for longer than about three hours a day, and is not caused by a medical problem (such as a hernia or an infection), it is called colic. This phenomenon is present in almost all babies; the only thing that differs is the degree.
