Baby colic is frequent, intense, prolonged crying or fussiness in an otherwise completely healthy baby. The onset of colic is sudden and almost always takes parents by surprise. About 15 to 25% of babies experience colic, during which they cry more than they normally do, inconsolably and for no apparent reason. Parents have a feeling of helplessness since their normal efforts to console their baby prove to be completely ineffective during this time.
