Colic Remedy: The New Colic Solution, by Dr. Shawn Hrncir

• Colic is an attack of crying and apparent abdominal pain in early infancy.
• Colic is a common condition, occurring in about 1 in every 10 babies
• Colic is characterized by episodes of irritability, loud crying, and what appears to be abdominal pain with the legs drawn up and the abdomen feeling rigid.
• An attack of colic usually begins suddenly, often after a feeding.
• A colic cry is loud and continuous.
• The spells last from one to four hours and the baby's face often gets flushed or red.
• The belly is sometimes distended or prominent; the legs alternate between flexed and extended straight out; the feet are often cold and the hands clenched.
• The episodes, while they can occur at any time of the day or night, typically begin in the late afternoon or early evening.
• Overfeeding, undiluted juices, food allergies, and emotional stress can aggravate colic
• Colic usually lasts from several weeks of age to 3 to 4 months of age.
