Colic in babies COLIC IN BABIES
Almost one in three babies have episodes in which they cry vigorously, sometimes for several hours, draw up their legs and go red in the face.
It is usually assumed they have abdominal pain. This "three-month colic" usually starts in the first six weeks of life, nearly half having stopped by three months and 90 per cent by six months.
The cause is unknown, but is often said to be due to intolerance to cows' milk. However, breast-fed babies seem as prone to get it as those artificially fed.
Cows' milk proteins are thought to enter the mother's breast milk and taking the mother off cows' milk may be of benefit.
Many of these babies seem to settle with a mixture containing antispasmodic drugs with a sedative.
