Common Questions:
Colic refers to periods of unexplained crying in infants between 2 weeks and 3 months of age. These unexplained bouts of crying frequently occur in the evenings and usually last for 1-2 hours.
Gas is very common in infants affecting more than 50% of all newborns. Gas bubbles can cause discomfort leading to crankiness and crying. Infants with gas may also pull their legs up, lying in a curled position for relief.
A fever is a sign that your child’s body is fighting an infection. A fever can also develop after certain immunizations are administered. A fever will probably make your baby fussy. If your baby feels warm to the touch, is lethargic, or is crying more than usual, take his/her temperature.
