- Accept help – even if it is just a warm cup of tea and a hug.
- Consult your healthcare professional if you are feeling overwhelmed or distressed.

WHAT CAUSES COLIC?3,4
Despite decades of research, the cause of colic remains uncertain. There are probably multiple contributing factors. In recent years, the role of GUT flora has come into focus, and clinical trials agree that colicky infants tend to have lower counts of lactobacilii bacteria in their GUT than non-colicky ones.

HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?3
Colic normally starts between 2 and 4 weeks of age and ends around 3 months. While colic is self-limiting, it can be very distressing to both the parents and the baby.
