Infant Colic Symptoms

A baby with infant colic is definitely fussy. But not all fussy babies have infant colic. It's difficult to tell if your baby is colicky, or simply a high-maintenance baby that cries a bunch. What are infant colic symptoms?

Experts normally define colic using the "Rule of Threes." A colicky baby seems healthy other than the crying, and is well-fed, but has crying spells that:

  • Begin within the first three weeks of life
  • Last up to or more than three hours a day
  • Occur at least three or more days a week
  • Continue for at least three weeks
  • Disappear at about three months of age

Colicky infants may seem oblivious to attempts by caretakers to soothe. Additional signs of infant colic include scrunching up their legs, passing gas, not sleeping and a red face. Most crying outbursts occur in the early evening and last several hours.

Ask yourself. Does your fussy baby:

  • Eat and seem to be healthy?
  • Produce 5-8 very wet diapers every day?
  • Produce a normal poop?
  • Not cry for extended periods before the evening outburst?

If you answered yes to the above questions, if your baby exhibits other infant colic symptoms mentioned, AND if the crying spells follow the "Rule of Threes", don't despair.

We can suggest an infant colic remedy you can use right now to stop that fussiness and relieve your baby's infant colic. Try baby swaddling.
