Colic Homeopathy Medicines

Colic is frequent, prolonged and intense crying or fussiness in a healthy infant.

Colic is when an infant who isn’t sick or hungry cries for more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week, for more than 3 weeks.

Colic is likely to start around 2 weeks of age if your infant is full-term, or later if they were born prematurely.
It almost always goes away on its own by 3 or 4 months of age.
It can happen regardless of your baby’s sex, their birth order, and whether you breast- or bottle-feed.
Kids who had colic grow up no differently from those who didn’t.

Symptoms

Colic normally begins at about the same time every day. Babies with colic are usually fussier in the evenings.

Colic symptoms often begin suddenly. Your baby’s hands may be in a fist. The legs may curl up and the belly may seem swollen. Crying may last for minutes to hours. Crying often calms down when your baby is tired or when gas or stool is passed.

Possible Causes of Colic

Causes of colic may include any of the following:

Pain from gas
Hunger
Overfeeding
Baby cannot tolerate certain foods or certain proteins in breast milk or formula
Sensitivity to certain stimuli
Emotions such as fear, frustration, or even excitement
