Actually, there is no such thing as Colic. It’s a catch-all term human and animal doctors use when their egos won’t permit them to admit they don’t know what’s wrong.
Babies have been known to fuss and cry, especially during the first three months of life. The range for what’s considered typical crying is difficult to pin down. In general, colic is defined as crying for three or more hours a day, three or more days a week, for three or more weeks.
Features of colic may include the following:
Intense crying that may seem more like screaming or an expression of painCrying for no apparent reason, unlike crying to express hunger or the need for a diaper changeExtreme fussiness even after crying has diminishedPredictable timing, with episodes often occurring in the eveningFacial discoloring, such as skin flushing or blushingBody tension, such as pulled up or stiffened legs, stiffened arms, clenched fists, arched back, or tense abdomen.

Catnip tea (0r probably any mint tea) gets rid of colic. At least, that’s been my experience.

Cool temperature and rhythmic movements over my shoulder were what worked for me; also, gentle clockwise belly rubs.
