Colic is defined by its symptoms as opposed to a certain cause. Symptoms usually begin around 4 weeks of age and can last as long as 6 months or in rare cases longer. It is believed to affect 1 in 3 babies.

Colic sometimes looks like there is abdominal pain and is frequently accompanied by gas. However, the gas is said to be a bi-product of swallowing air when crying. A baby is described as having colic if he or she has episodes of uncontrollable, inconsolable crying over three hours a day and at least three days a week.

Colic and infant gas can be very frustrating and upsetting to both parents and baby. Fortunately you are not alone and there are ways to soothe your baby and possibly eliminate the symptoms. Below you will find 10 easy solutions for infant colic and gas. Enjoy!

At age 44 with 3 kids, a microfamily of animals, a work away husband and 2 home businesses to look after – I find myself yearning for the simple life.

I day dream about the time – prekids – when I used to work all day and do what ever I wanted with my
evening and weekends.

Many times it was work around the house, but I did it with no dull roar in the background, no rush to finish
