Baby Colic
Hello,
My baby is 3 months old and has colic, it seems. Every evening is a fight with her crying uncontrollably for over am hour. She throws her hands and legs around, turns red in face. No gas drops, no hing, no massage, no burping nothing works. She finally falls asleep after about an hour of continuous crying.
We have seen 4, 5 different doctors who have prescribed different gas drops but nothing works.
When does colic go? And why does it occur?
What can we do about it to ease our baby's pain or discomfort? Is anything wrong with the baby that might come up as she grows up?
Please help us. We are very worried.
Thank you.

Hii
I do understand ur concern mam
Colic usually starts from the age of 2 weeks and it might be there till 6 months of age
The cause is unknown, but there are few studies which states that this usually happens with immature gut ( growing gut), maternal usage of coffee, difficulty to pass the flatus
U can use the colicaid drops
As the baby grows dose also increases ( detail required about the weight )
Next Steps
Continue breast feeding and top feeding ( lactogen)
Continue colicaid drops
