Common signs of colic include:​​​​​​​​ 1. Excessive crying​​​​​​​​ 2. Knees pulling up, squirming after feeds​​​​​​​​ 3. Fussy and irregular feeds, pulling off the breast or bottle frequently ​​​​​​​​ 4. Generally unsettled & clingy ​​​​​​​​ 5. Wakes screaming​​​​​​​​ 6. Visibly uncomfortable & distressed​​​​​​​​ 7. Farting A LOT - rarely burping ​​​​​​​​ 8. Only wants to sleep upright e.g. pram or in the carrier and miserable when lying flat​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ If you’re talking to your GP or paediatrician, be open to the idea that colic may not be the problem that is making your baby unsettled - always describe the symptoms your baby has to your healthcare professional. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ If it’s not colic there is always something driving the unsettled behaviour and we need to work out what it is.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ Colic does NOT mean you have to have an unhappy, unsettled baby that cries all the time - the articles on Colic that say there is no cure and some babies just cry – these are WRONG!​​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​​ See my blog “Colic has CAUSES & SOLUTIONS” for more info 💫 - LINK IN BIO
