The stats show that nearly twenty babies out of one hundred suffer from colic.
Most colic seems to appear in the evening hours.
A peaceful environment can suddenly be shattered by a baby s screams and everyone in the household realizes that it might last for hours. The first thing to do, of course, is to make sure that the baby has been properly fed, and doesn t require a diaper change. If the mother is breastfeeding, she will want to analyze her diet to see if something she is eating may be causing discomfort in the baby. It is vital, when you suspect your baby may be colicky, to rule out physical, and certainly any medical problems before anything else. When those things are determined by your physician not to be the cause, it will be time to experiment with something that might work for soothing your baby.
