Symptoms of baby colic

Baby
Baby's colic

When your baby cries, it is not always easy to detect hunger, fear, pain… Speaking of which, can you recognize when your baby is suffering from baby colic? The symptoms are, theoretically, rather easy to recognize.

  • Your baby cries a lot.
  • They get red.
  • The baby is restless and grumpy.
  • Babies with colic often fold their legs over the tummy and can't seem to find a position in which they are comfortable.
  • They have a lot of gas.
  • If your baby has all of these symptoms, chances are they are suffering from baby colic. Call your pediatrician for a check-up, they will be able to give you some good advice on how to get your baby better as soon as possible.

I think my baby has colic. Anyone have experience with this. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t driving me nuts but I know it’s not his fault and I love him regardless but it definitely gets me overstimulated at times and where I need to leave the room for a minute because of his crying😭 I hate it. It makes me feel like a bad mom.

All babies cry a lot in the beginning. It's the only form of communication they have. Don't feel bad. Your not a bad mom. I'm dealing with it too with my two week old daughter. I'm a single mom too. Allanah's dad passed away in April. ❤️❤️

Anybody know why my baby doing this? I think he’s becoming colic… there periods thoughout the day he just cries, doesn’t want to eat, cuddles and whatnot doesn’t help.

My baby does sometimes. Does he get sick when he does eat? My daughter gets sick almost everytime she eats if she is latched to me but not all the time if I feed her with a bottle. I think she has bad acid reflux like me and my mom. Right before she gets sick she normally hiccups then burps then gets sick. But sometimes she makes this sound before or after getting sick almost like she's choking on it.

Sometimes but not always. Sometimes he has hiccups but it’s kinda rare for him to get them.
