Colic Quiz

Babies generally suffer from colic between the ages of 2 - 14 weeks. Therefore it is unlikely that your baby has colic.

Babies with colic do not usually suffer from hiccups and vomiting. These symptoms may be reflux related and you should seek medical advice.

Babies with colic typically cry for long periods of time. It is possible that your baby may just need winding, be tired, need a nappy change or be hungry.

Although there may be other causes, colic crying is louder and more intense than regular crying. It can sound more like a high-pitched scream than a cry. Without the distinctive high-pitched cry, your baby could just need winding, sleep or be hungry.

It’s perfectly normal for a newborn to cry a lot. During their first three months of life, babies can cry for up to two hours a day. Babies who are easily distracted when crying throughout the day could just need winding, sleep, a nappy change or be hungry.
