OH infantile colic is defined as a well, thriving infant who has crying bouts that last for three hours per day at least three days per week for three weeks. There are many theories as to the cause of infantile colic. They range from food allergy/intolerance to abnormal peristalsis or excessive gas.
Infantile colic starts occurring when an infant is one or two weeks old and is at its height at about six weeks. Infantile colic usually stops when the baby is about 2-3 months old. As a matter of fact, 20-30% of infants are affected by infantile colic in Pickerington. The infant usually starts to cry at the end of the day and usually at around the age when the parents start to really feel the sleep deprivation. It is no wonder that with colic babies, parents can become frustrated, discouraged, and depressed.
The first visit to the doctor of chiropractic, Dr. Dennis Schone, will include a detailed health history and initial examination; this will determine the extent of the infantile colic. Then your chiropractor will develop a specific plan of management tailored to your infant’s case.
