At what age does colic start, if the baby will get it?
I’m nervous about it since my baby is formula and breastfed. The formula is due to a hospital stay for 4 days of mine when my daughter was 8 days old and I’m working towards breastfeeding more. She is 4 weeks old now, but when does colic usually start? At birth?
My son had colic. I noticed it about the time he was 2 weeks old and it lasted until he was almost 4 months. In general, babies start with colic around three weeks of age, getting its worse at around six weeks of age and then usually stopping around three or four months of age.
The main symptoms of colic are:
Loud and continuous crying that can last from one to three hours at a time, with these crying episodes occurring about three or four days a week
Baby’s face gets red
Legs are pulled up to the stomach and then may be fully stretched
Feet may be cold
Hands may be clenched
Some babies refuse to eat or become fussy soon after eating
Difficulty falling and staying asleep
If your baby does have colic, just remember that it won’t last forever. Make sure you give yourself a decent amount of alone time and take one night at a time. Good luck!!!
