If you’re a parent or a parent-to-be, you may have heard of colic from friends but not know what it actually is.
This is not unusual because actually there are many questions about what causes it and why some babies get it but others don’t. What we do know is that colic is when an otherwise healthy baby cries excessively but for no obvious reason, like being tired, having a dirty nappy or being hungry. This is a different type of crying which might go on for hours at a time, usually in the evening.
