How long does colic last?
Parenting FAQs
Colic can last for a few weeks to a few months, with most babies experiencing relief by the time they are around 6 months old. However, the duration of colic can vary from baby to baby. It is important to remember that colic is a temporary phase and will eventually pass. Talking to your healthcare professional up front will help rule out any other possible causes of the excessive crying.
