Does colic affect development?

Parenting FAQs

Infant colic itself does not directly affect a baby's development. However, the stress and exhaustion that colic can cause for both the baby and the parents may indirectly impact the parent-child relationship and the overall well-being of the family. It is important for parents to seek support and implement strategies to manage colic effectively and provide a nurturing environment for their baby's development.
