How Long Does Colic Last? Parents with colicky babies generally have one very important question and that is, How long does colic last? Colic is described as a baby who cries inconsolably for three or more hours per day at least three days per week. Colic generally begins between one week and six weeks of age and lasts up to three or four months. There are some babies whose colic will subside before this point and other babies who will be colicky up to six months of age. There is no hard and fast rule about when colic subsides, although the vast majority of babies find relief around three months of age.
