Colic refers to when your baby is crying a lot without any obvious cause and, while it can be upsetting, it’s a common problem that should get better on its own.
Your baby might have colic if they cry more than 3 hours a day, 3 days a week for at least 1 week, and they will likely cry more often in the afternoon and evening.
It will be hard to settle your baby if they have colic; they might clench their firsts, go red in the face, bring their knees up to their tummy or arch their back.
