Book excerpt: Abstract: The symptoms, causes, and treatments of colic are discussed in this guide for parents of colicky infants and health care professionals who deal with them. Results of recent research studies are described and practical suggestions for coping with colic are provided. Recommendations based on the experiences of parents of colicy infants are made on feeding the colicky infant, treating colic with medication, and soothing the infant. New theories are described linking colicky behavior to infant characteristics such as temperament, sleep habits, and breathing patterns. Excerpts from diaries kept by parents of colicky infants give a detailed description of colicky behavior and provide encouragement and practical advice on waiting for the infant to "outgrow" the condition.
