    Colic meaning & definition 5 of Colic.


  • Colic refers to a specific pattern of excessive, intense crying and fussing that occurs without any apparent reason (for example, hunger, illness, or injury) in otherwise healthy infants. Colic typically begins within the first month of life, is worst when the infant is about 6 weeks of age, and disappears, often rather suddenly, by 3 to 4 months of age.
    Typically, doctors consider intense, unexplained crying and fussing to be colic when it lasts more than 3 hours a day and more than 3 days a week for more than 3 weeks. However, many doctors also consider sudden, severe, unexplained crying that lasts less than 3 hours a day for most days of a week to be colic.
    The crying associated with colic typically

    Is loud, piercing, and constant
    Has no identifiable cause
    Occurs at about the same time of day or night
    Continues for hours for no apparent reason
    Is separated by intervals when the infant acts normally

    Colic meaning & definition 6 of Colic.


  • Colic is frequent and extended periods of crying for no discernible reason in an otherwise healthy infant.
    Although the term colic suggests an intestinal origin, etiology is unknown.
    Colic typically appears within the first month of life, peaks at about age 6 weeks, and reliably and spontaneously ends by age 3 to 4 months. Paroxysms of crying and fussiness often occur at about the same time of day or night and continue for hours for no apparent reason. A few infants cry almost incessantly. Excessive crying may cause aerophagia, which results in flatulence and abdominal distention. Typically, colicky infants eat and gain weight well, although vigorous nonnutritive sucking may suggest excessive hunger. Colic probably has no relation to development of an insistent, impatient personality.
