?What is infant Colic

Infant colic typically presents as intense and prolonged episodes of crying, often without a clear cause, occurring between the ages of one to four months. During these episodes, the baby is difficult to soothe, making the experience distressing and challenging for parents.

Description

Unlike general fussiness, which may occur in any infant, colic is persistent, intense, and without a clear cause, often leading to stress and confusion for parents. Therefore, it is crucial for physicians to support families during this challenging time by providing them with accurate and helpful information.

At Danone, we recognize the significance of functional gastrointestinal disorders in infants—such as colic—given their high prevalence and the impact they have on both the baby and the parents. As part of our commitment, we consider it our responsibility to raise awareness in this area to help ensure better care for infants.
