Common Colic Symptoms
Colicky babies often have prolonged periods of intense crying, excessive gas, stomach
discomfort, hiccups and difficulty sleeping. Examples:
- Prolonged crying between 6 pm and midnight in a baby that has been fed
- While crying, the baby draws his legs up to his abdomen and clenches his hands and
his toes; his face alternatively flushes and pales with the effort of crying
- The baby is very irritable and fussy
- Episodes of crying may begin or end with a bowel movement or the passage of gas.
