baby colic
Newborn crying spells
Baby colic is prolonged, intense crying in an otherwise healthy infant, typically peaking around six weeks and resolving by three to four months.
The cause remains unclear, though digestive discomfort is often suspected.
Colic follows the "rule of threes": crying for more than three hours a day, more than three days a week, for more than three weeks.
The doctor said it was just colic and would pass.
