Infantile colic is a common condition in infants, characterized by excessive crying and fussiness, typically occurring in the first few months of life. It is often defined as crying for more than three hours a day, three days a week, for three weeks or longer. The exact cause is unknown, but it may be related to factors such as digestive issues, sensitivity to stimuli, or an immature nervous system. Parents may notice that colicky babies often cry in the late afternoon or evening, and the episodes can be distressing for both the child and caregivers. While infantile colic usually resolves on its own by around three to four months of age, soothing techniques like gentle rocking, swaddling, or using a pacifier may help alleviate some discomfort.
