What causes colic?

Parenting FAQs

There may be many factors at play that cause colic in babies and can be difficult to pinpoint. Your healthcare professional may be able to help identify some of these causes, for example, an infant’s intestinal microflora profile may contribute to the development of baby colic and supplementation with a special probiotic may help reduce crying time in colicky babies.
