We’ve compiled a list of common questions asked by parents over the years.  Whether it’s a fever, cold, or gas, we can help.

Common Questions:

What is Colic?
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.

What is Gas?
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. 

What can I do to help my child’s fever?
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.
