Often developing between the ages of zero to six months, some babies face a distressing condition known as colic – a spasm of the gut that causes cramping pain to attack the abdomen region. Affecting as many as 25% of all babies, keep in mind that symptoms usually improve when a baby is three months old.

## Causes and Symptoms

• Predictable Crying Episodes: Lasting from a couple of minutes to three hours, colicky babies tend to cry about the same time each day.

• Changes in Posture: During a colicky fit, babies may curl their legs up, clench fists, and exhibit tensed abdominal muscles.

• Intense Crying – Often high pitched and inconsolable, colicky babies seem impossible to comfort.
