CA 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. Infantile colic has many theorized contributing factors, such as food allergy or intolerance, excessive gas, and abnormal peristalsis.
Infantile colic usually begins when the baby is one to two weeks old and reaches a peak at about six weeks. The condition often stops once the infant reaches 2-3 months of age. Between 20-30% of all newborns are colicky babies. Infantile colic in Vacaville often begins at the end of a long day, and symptoms show at around the age where the parents have been sleep deprived from caring for the baby. Many parents end up feeling very discouraged and frustrated when their baby ceases to cry.
The first visit to the doctor of chiropractic, Dr Trevor Del Pape DC, 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.
