Some chock it up to a rite of passage that usually begins at a few weeks old to 3-4 months, sometimes longer. Others blame it on an immature digestive tract, allergies, a developing brain/neurological system, or high-strung parents. Some theorize that colic children are “introverts” and are easily overstimulated. But for many mamas, we want to get to the bottom of it because watching our child cry for hours on end each day is nearly unbearable. Of course, it’s always recommended to check in with your pediatrician to rule out any other potential issues. If it does end up being baby colic, thankfully, there are some simple and natural remedies that may help reduce or eliminate your baby’s symptoms. Before implementing any of these remedies, check with your pediatrician first.
