Colic is the extreme end of normal crying behaviour. The condition is harmless, but it can be very distressing for parents or carers. About one to two in every 10 babies get colic.
What is colic? Colic is uncontrollable crying in a baby that has no known cause.
Symptoms of colic Your baby may have colic if he or she cries excessively over several days. Although this crying can occur at any time, it usually gets worse in the late afternoon and evening. Colic usually appears in the first few weeks after birth and the cause isn't known. It generally lasts for three to four months. Although colic isn't thought to be due to pain, your baby may look uncomfortable or appear to be in pain. Babies may lift their head, draw their legs up to their tummy, become red in the face and pass wind. Colic is not a serious condition. Research shows that babies with colic continue to eat and gain weight normally, despite the crying. If your baby doesn't, you should see your health visitor or GP. The main problem with the condition is the stress and anxiety it creates within the home. You may find it difficult to cope with the constant crying, so it's important for you to have support and to take a break now and then.
Causes of colic The cause of colic isn't known. In the past it was thought to be related to the digestive system. Painful wind may contribute to colic, but there is little evidence to prove colic is linked to digestive problems. Intolerance of lactose has also been identified as a possible factor, but evidence is limited. Another possible cause may be your baby's temperament. This may make your baby highly sensitive to the environment, and he or she may react to normal stimulation or changes by crying. If you smoke, this may also be a factor. Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is associated with excessive crying in some babies. GORD symptoms include being sick and difficulty sucking, these are not usual symptoms in babies with colic.
Diagnosis of colic You may be worried about your baby's crying and may want to get advice from your GP or health visitor to make sure there isn't a serious problem. Before visiting your GP, you should think about what other things may be causing your baby to cry. These could include:
hunger tiredness lack of contact - some babies want to be cuddled all the time startling - due to jerky movements or sudden noise for example temperature - your baby may be too hot or too cold pain - there may be an identifiable source of pain, like a nappy rash If none of these are causing your baby to cry, you may decide to see your GP or health visitor. They will examine your baby and will ask you about your baby's behaviour. By telling them when your baby cries, eats, sleeps and their pattern of bowel movements, they may be able to find out the cause of the crying.
Treament of colic There is no single medicine or proven cure for colic, but there are measures that may help. Different babies are comforted in different ways, and you may need to try a few methods to see what works. Self-help To soothe crying babies, the following techniques may be helpful.
Carry your baby in a front sling or back pack. Keep your baby moving in a baby swing. Try to soothe your baby with continuous noise or vibrations from household appliances like the dishwasher, vacuum cleaner or washer-dryer. Take your baby for a car ride or a walk outside. Give your baby a dummy to suck on. Bathe your baby - the warm water may be comforting.

大家来说说，40天的孩子能不能打？
我家宝宝这两天一直白天不好好睡觉，我lg抱着哄也不行，一直哭，就是要摇他，抱着他走动才会好。今天lg说，这样下去不行，都不睡觉，要打他，让他哭累了，就会好好睡觉。看着他打孩子，虽然是轻轻的，但是孩子已经懂了，一打就撕心裂肺的大哭，我都难受死了。
上来问问大家，大家的小孩如果不睡觉，抱着哄会不会马上好。是不是我们家小孩特别不听话。lg说是惯坏的，就是抱着摇啊摇惯坏的。可是谁家孩子不睡觉的时候不需要抱呢？40天大的孩子，如果不睡觉的时候，大部分能自己躺着玩吗？
是不是 colic?
打40天大的孩子，你老公太有创意了。
你google查一下，就明白怎么会事了。
一般来说6个月以内的孩子还不太会故意撒娇，胡闹，娃肯定不舒服或安全感问题才会哭闹得
安全感问题是很难解决的问题，做人父母的一定要有耐心，经常对娃微笑，娃很小，你对他怎么样，他会回馈你什么样子的
我们经常经常对娃笑，逗娃笑，娃现在半岁是个非常爱笑的宝宝
我娃两个月左右的时候晚上睡觉也老爱闹，有那么几天，每天晚上定点开哭，很难哄，吓死我了，以为是colic问题，因为colic宝宝的一个症状就是定点开哭，幸亏后来发现不是，我最艰难的时候抱着娃从一楼到二楼，再从二楼到一楼，上上下下几十趟，因为只有不断上下楼，娃才会不哭。而且我娃那时候每天晚上2点才睡。我们试了各种办法，白天尽量陪他多玩，提前洗澡时间，不过吼宝宝或对宝宝不耐烦绝对不是我们的办法；但都不管用。我们问儿医，有啥法子让娃早点睡，医生说没办法，只能熬着，这么小的宝宝自身生物钟在调整过程中。
医生是对的，娃快三个月的时候，谁叫忽然很乖了，睡前也不怎么闹了，睡觉时间也提前了，而且居然开始睡整觉了。说实话，我现在对娃小时候不乖已经基本记不太清楚了，在我眼里，他永远是个小天使。他有一点进步，我和lg就对他微笑，鼓掌，大声说，宝宝好棒，宝宝作的好。我觉得娃是听得懂的，其他会对爸爸妈妈的动作有反映，每次我们一鼓掌，一说宝宝真棒，娃就咧着嘴高兴地笑，还会把我们表扬他的动作再重复一次。
anyway，做人父母要有爱心，耐心，给娃一个美好的童年，培养娃乐观的性格，责打永远是最差最坏的教育方法，尤其对于小娃来说，简直是犯罪，不可被原谅。
要命了！！！！！！！！！！！
孩子40天左右是闹腾得，有什么大惊小怪，还要打孩子。
这种劳工要揍：）

和之前天壤之别。我妈说这叫闹满月，我看网上，基本每个小孩都这样，闹的程度有区别。我儿子1个多月的时候天天
晚上不睡觉，特别折磨人。你可以看看精华区里yilan的关于作息调整的帖子，里面有推荐书，非常好，
我按照里面的作息表调整，现在吃饭，睡觉都很好。还有，我觉得孩子好像很需要安全感，所以才喜欢被抱着睡觉，
你试试让孩子和你睡大床，不要单独睡小床，我儿子就是这么调整过来的，之前怎么哄晚上都不睡觉。
还有啊，你老公真的很那个啥，不管怎么样，才40天的孩子，他懂什么啊，4各月都不可以打，4岁如果很捣蛋不听话，
也应该是讲道理教育，不该随便打人。

不要说40天的宝宝，4岁的宝宝有时候哭闹也是自己不能控制的，那里不舒服了。作为爸爸妈妈要给宝宝应有的爱护。你老公太愚昧了！没人道。仗着自己是大人打一个不会说话，只会哭的小宝宝。
作为妈妈，你要勇敢一点啊，你老公做得不对，你得教育他！宝宝已经不舒服了才哭的，还打他，不是增加他的痛苦么！？ 小心以后长大了心理残缺！等到打得过爸爸了，打老爸！
要是我认识你们，我一定报警, 把你老公抓起来。最好被鞭一顿。 假设40天宝宝9磅，混蛋老爸150磅，宝宝的17倍。得找17个大人鞭他。
还没这么气过....
you CAN NOT spoil a baby less than 3 months old! Try you best to make your baby comfortable. My daughter is fussy sometimes, but always for a reason. Cry is the only way that little baby communicate with you!
我在书上看到的是
you CAN NOT spoil a baby less than 9 months old!
才40天的孩子啊，你lg是不是昏头了？把孩子打累了就睡觉了？简直无语！！
re
你劳工是法西斯啊, 法西斯还不这么对待自己的孩子的。虎毒还不食子呢，你lg不配为人父！
你也是，怎么就真的会让你lg打，当妈的现在就无法保护自己的孩子，以后。。。
小孩子整个成长过程都是需要父母无限的耐心和爱心的，你们才40天，就连哄宝宝睡觉的心思都没有了。我不敢想象以后你们怎样对待你们的孩子。
你家宝宝真可怜，摊上这样的父母！
太生气了！上网以来没这么气过！！！
[此贴子已经被作者于2009-3-30 15:53:25编辑过]
天啊，这是家小最雷人的帖子之一了吧，可怜的孩子。我都不敢想象，我们宝宝现在5个月，真是碰到一点全家都是心疼得不行。居然还有故意打孩子让他哭得。

我也是从来没看到这么雷人的贴子! 算是第一次在家小看到虐待孩子的(转贴的不算的话). LZ作为妈妈严重失职, 怎么可能看着自己才40天的孩子被打. 这个孩子太可怜了, 可以想象会被从小打到大. 以后孩子烦心的事多了去了. 你们不配作父母.

40天大打他就知道了啊
我家的才27天大也要这样摇啊摇啊
要不然抱着也不睡觉呢
哭~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
不过好象说45天以后可以训练，别打让哭下
不过我决得哭起来我也是受不了了
40天的孩子会哭肯定是有原因的，居然打自己40天大的孩子。。。令人发指啊。。。
不过，有时候的确有点崩溃，我有一次就是，晚上站起来抱着摇就行
我屁股一挨床她就哭，已经10个月啦，那么重，摇了好久，可累死我了
当时感觉真的要崩溃了，胳膊要断了
很生气很生气，虽然我知道她是不舒服
不过我还是很生气地把她放在床上了，恩..........
