How do you tell if your child has colic? In doing research, I found that it isn't considered colic if they cry less than 3 (aff) hours straight for more than 3 (aff) days a week. However, Will does have these symptoms: draws his legs to his belly, becomes red in the face, passes gas a lot, and has difficulty staying asleep. The only way he sleeps for any amount of time is if we let him sleep on us. However, he does not cry for 3 hours a night straight. We are more at the hour mark.
Any thoughts?
One thought on “Colic”
I know this post was from a long time ago, but wanted to comment. I think pretty much all babies have some unexplained fussiness and/or crying. Research shows that all babies experience an increase in crying and fussiness up until the 6 week mark, at which point it starts to decrease. Even when you know this, it's still so frustrating not knowing what's wrong and not being able to calm them!
