Detailed explanation-1: -Colic and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are common causes of crying and fussiness in babies. Babies usually grow out of colic and reflux by their first birthdays. Always check with your child’s healthcare provider to make sure there isn’t another, more serious explanation for crying and fussiness.
Detailed explanation-2: -Colic and reflux often start at a similar time and can be confused, but a baby with colic has none of the symptoms associated with reflux, and the diagnosis should only be made if your baby is otherwise well.
Detailed explanation-3: -When to see a doctor. Excessive, inconsolable crying may be colic or an indication of an illness or condition that causes pain or discomfort. Schedule an appointment with your child’s health care provider for a thorough exam if your infant experiences excessive crying or other signs or symptoms of colic.
Detailed explanation-4: -Try Mindfulness. Some parents find that it helps to be mindful or to practice meditation while their baby is having a colicky spell. It helps to clear their mind and feel more calm. Plus, focused deep breathing can help center your mind and control your emotions.
