It is estimated that up to 25% of all babies have colic. It usually starts between the 3rd and 6th week after they are born.
There are quite a few facts about infant colic that you may not realize. These facts are:
• Colicky babies generally have a healthy sucking reflex and a really good sense of appetite and are otherwise healthy and growing well. Sick babies may seem to be colicky but they won’t eat very well and they won’t have the same strong sucking reflex.
• Colicky babies really enjoy being cuddled and handled. Sick babies are usually uncomfortable when they are handled.
• Colicky babies may spit up a bit, but if your baby is actually vomiting and/or losing weight something is very wrong and this is not a symptom of infant colic.
• Colicky babies usually have normal stools. If your baby is hard to soothe and has diarrhea or if you see blood in the stool, call your doctor.
8 CAUSES OF COLIC IN BABIES
Hormonal Disturbances:
In the baby’s body there are two important hormones, cortisone and growth hormone, and they are at their highest point in the early morning hours and lowest in the evening hours. In the first few months of a baby’s life, these varying hormones are much disorganized.
By the time the baby reaches four to six months of age the pattern becomes more consistent and the colic will disappear.
Progesterone is a hormone that can have calming and sleep-inducing effects. A baby receives progesterone from the placenta at birth but the soothing effect from it generally wears off in about a week or two and it is also suggested that colic occurs if the infant does not produce enough progesterone on his own. In general, the studies surrounding this are mixed at best but they do indicate infant colic occurs less in breastfed infants because breastfed babies receive higher levels of progesterone.
Prostaglandin; which is a hormone that causes strong contractions of the intestinal muscle, has also been thought of as a culprit in infant colic. One study even showed that infants develop colicky symptoms when they were given prostaglandin therapeutically to treat their heart disease.
Cows Milk/Dairy Product Allergies:
Studies suggest that cow’s milk may be causing colic in babies, your doctor may choose to substitute a soy formula for regular baby formulas, but I should tell you that even soy based formula can cause infant colic. Approximately 35% of infants who are allergic to cow’s milk-based formulas will also be allergic to soy milk-based formulas.
The reason for this is because a more recent discovery is that cow’s milk allergens may enter the milk of a breastfeeding mother and irritate the baby’s intestines, which results in colic. In this case trying out a dairy-free diet all together may be the best thing to do.
Ear Infections:
Ear infections can also trigger colic in some babies. Some of the signs that your baby may have an ear infection are: baby seems to be in pain when they are lying down, but not while they are sitting up; she has cold symptoms such as a runny nose, draining eyes, and small fever; and she is not sleeping well. A thorough examination of your baby’s ears should be part of a infant colic checkup.
Pediatric Regurgitation Syndrome:
This condition is also called gastrointestinal reflux or in more severe cases Gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD). PRS is actually a recent discovery as a medical cause of infant colic. Normally when food goes down your baby’s throat and into his stomach, what happens is that the stomach will contract and push whatever is already in there down into the intestines.
In some babies this does not work properly, so when the stomach contracts, some of the food is actually pushed back up into the esophagus and in some cases even out of the mouth. Along with the food that comes up irritating stomach acids, which may irritate the esophagus and cause heartburn.
Signs that reflux may be contributing to colic are: spitting up after eating frequently; colicky episodes that occur shortly after eating; often waking up at night as if in severe pain; and colic that is just not going away.
Urinary Tract Infections:
One of the most serious and most hidden causes of infant colic is a urinary tract infection. These infections are very subtle in babies; they do not begin as quickly and severely as ear infections do and in fact, they can last for quite a few weeks before they are even detected. Urinary tract infections can cause kidney damage if they are left untreated. For this reason I would suggest that fussy, colicky babies have at least three urinalyses just to be safe.
Skin Rashes:
Skin rashes may also be a cause of infant colic. Eczema, rashes caused by allergies, and diaper rashes may be the reason why the baby is colicky. When there are sudden outbursts of screaming it is reasonable to think that it may be caused by a sore bottom. The type of diaper rash that is particularly hard on baby is the raw rash that looks almost like a skin burn is caused by acid stools during diarrhea. You can bathe your baby in baking soda (one tablespoon in a couple of inches of water in baby’s bathtub) to help soothe it.
Constipation:
This is another possible reason for colic in babies that is rarely looked at. In the early months of baby’s life their stools; especially those of a breastfed infant, should be loose, soft and very often in occurrence which is about two to three times a day. Once the baby reaches 3 or 4 months some babies will normally have only one bowel movement a day. If your baby strains or turns red a lot when they have a bowel movement, and if the stool seems hard, or if it is accompanied by a few drops of blood droplets or if they have a tense, gas-filled (hard) tummy, your baby may be constipated. A visit to your doctor will tell you what to do about it.
Temperament:
It is also suggested that infant colic can be the result of the baby’s individual temperament; which means that some babies just take a little bit longer to get adjusted to living outside of the womb.

Kayla is lucky to be alive after a 30kg large flat screen TV crushed her little body. Kayla’s accident is a warning to all parents with large flat screen TV’s and small children. Learn the essential baby home safety tips for large screen TV’s to keep your baby safe.
In the state of Victoria, Australia, (pop’n.5,427,700) the rate of injury to children from falling televisions which resulted in hospitalisation of the child, has risen from 37 in 2000 to 101 in 2009. Leg and foot injuries are among the most common to children under 5, followed by head, face and neck injuries, and unfortunately one child has died from a falling television.
Kayla’s mother heard a loud crash coming from the room where 4 year old Kayla had been watching TV. The 30 kg large screen TV which had been sitting on top of a chest of drawers had fallen more than a metre onto Kayla’s little body with only her feet visible below the large TV.
Kayla suffered a large cut to the side of her head and had blood coming out of her mouth,ear and nose and was also not breathing for a short period of time.
Kayla’s mother held her little girl as she thought she was dying.
Kayla was taken to hospital in a critical condition, doctors were unsure if she would survive. Kayla’s mother said “I never imagined in my wildest dreams a television could do so much damage.” Neurosurgeons operated on Kayla’s damaged brain lining and part of her skull was removed to allow room for her brain to swell. She was in an induced coma for 6 days hovering between life and death, with her mother at her side.
Six weeks on and Kayla is making a miraculous recovery with further surgery on her skull to come. Doctors hope she will make a full recovery but expect it will take a long time and she may be left with subtle deficits.
Kayla’s accident highlights the dangers of large screen TV’s to small children, when babyproofing your home the television is often overlooked, but obviously as parents we need to include large televisions on our baby home safety checklist.
7 baby home safety precautions for your large screen TV you must know:
To learn how to protect your baby or child in all situations, further baby home safety advice can be found conveniently in one complete baby safety guide:‘Baby Safety’.
As part of your baby home safety plan you might like to consider a baby video monitor with the extra security of always being able to see your baby. Take a look at The Baby Video Monitor Shop where you will find the best reviews and purchase price on Baby Video Monitors.

The method is based on the premise that men produce two types of sperm, the X (female) and Y (male). The Y sperms are smaller and more delicate, but faster, than the X sperms (which are bigger, tougher and slower), the system is based on providing an environment which is more likely to help the type of sperm that matches your preference to get to the egg first.

Nothing’s more frustrating than not knowing why your baby is crying. You feel powerless and dissheartened listening to your child cry.
There are many different potential causes, and many different options you can take to soothe baby colic. You probably already know it’s important that you do take action because your BABY needs rest and YOU need rest!
Now there are steps you can take to soothe and calm your colicky baby which will shorten the crying spells and become less often. Parents the world over are having great success with these baby colic relief techniques.
But first, let me tell you what I found worked best to calm and settle my 2 daughters both of which had severe gastric reflux, now aged 5 and 2.
Our bedtime sleep routine, after the nappy change, was to feed my baby in her darkened room in a rocking chair with gentle classical music playing, the same music CD every time. The gentle rocking of the chair was noticeably soothing, and sleep inducing, rock slowly if bottle feeding to reduce baby gulping air from the milk sloshing in the bottle. Always burp your baby afterward, if the burping unsettles your baby, just rock a bit more until he/she’s sleepy again, but not completely asleep, as I found it’s best to let your baby settle itself to sleep in their own bedding.
I played the same classical music to both of my daughters in preparation for sleep, they learn quite quickly that when they hear that music it’s sleep time. The name of the CD is ‘Pachelbel Forever By The Sea’, soothing instrumental orchelstral music set to gentle oceans sounds. My 5 year old asks to have this music on to go to sleep by even now, she says it makes her feel sleepy, a godsend on nights when we want her in bed early!
