No parent likes to hear their baby cry. Now just imagine for a moment, your baby crying for at least three hours a day, non stop. If you are a parent and reading this, you are probably curled into a fetal position with a box of hankies close at hand, but this is the reality that many face when their baby is colicky.

Colic is when an otherwise seemingly normal healthy baby, cries for three hours or more a day for at least three times a week. About twenty percent of all babies born get colic, and this condition doesn’t discriminate between boys and girls; both are affected equally. It has a higher chance of affecting children between the ages of two to four weeks of age, and lasts about three months.
