Infantile Colic

Infants typically experience abdominal discomfort as a manifestation of infantile colic, which is a benign condition occurring in the second or third week of their lives. Persistent and inconsolable crying in infants characterizes infantile colic, which affects nearly 20% of newborns and infants. Despite its widespread occurrence, the underlying cause of colic remains elusive. Symptoms reach their peak around 6 weeks and typically resolve by the age of 12 weeks. Caregivers often perceive excessive crying as a sign of illness or as evidence of poor caretaking skills. Although many theories regarding the etiology of colic exist, the lack of uniformity in study design, diagnostic criteria, and caregivers’ perception of excessive and prolonged crying challenges the identification of a common cause. Appropriate education, support, and reassurance can help caregivers improve their relationship with a child and enhance their perception of caregiving abilities. This activity reviews the etiology and clinical features of infantile colic and explores the role of the interprofessional team in delivering individualized management and support to caregivers in managing infantile colic.
