Infantile Colic

Infantile colic, also known as baby colic, is characterized by repeated episodes of intense and frequent crying in an otherwise healthy infant, especially in the evening, lasting for more than three hours a day, three days a week, for three weeks. While the exact cause is unknown, colic often resolves on its own within 3-4 months, though certain probiotics may offer some relief, and it can cause significant stress for caregivers.
