• Colic and Your Babies: Noise To Make Them Sleep By

• Colic and Your Infant

  Colic is so widespread with infants and babies that many parents are not surprised anymore when it happens. Yet, for the first time parent it can be a horrible and panicking circumstance especially with her normally quiet infant screaming non-stop in the background. It is most often apparent at approximately three to four weeks of age. It becomes more notable in the first two months and subsides at about three months of age. Colic can totally stop at about three-and-a-half to four months of age.

  Colic is actually not so hazardous. It might appear so though from the way babies would yell and bellow at the top of their lungs. In reality, it can be so common that parents may encounter an incident on a daily basis; and subsequently the first episode, parents generally learn to deal with latter ones with aplomb. However, physicians and scientists cannot pinpoint up until now just what exactly causes colicky infants. It just happens.

• Hormonal Disturbances That Affect Colic

  Progesterone just happens to be one of the hormones that can have calming and sleep-inducing effects. A baby receives progesterone from the placenta at birth but the soothing effect from it generally wears off in about a week or two and it is also suggested that colic occurs if the infant does not produce enough progesterone on his own. In general, the studies surrounding this are mixed at best but they do indicate colic occurs less in breastfed infants because breastfed babies receive higher levels of progesterone.
