CA infantile colic can be described as a condition in thriving infants and results in crying bouts; the baby usually cries for three hours a day, at least three days a week, and occurs over a three-week period. Infantile colic has many theorized contributing factors, such as food allergy or intolerance, excessive gas, and abnormal peristalsis.
It is during the first two weeks of a newborn’s life that infantile colic can begin. Infantile colic reaches a peak at approximately 6 weeks and eventually stops in the second or third month. Infantile colic affects 20-30% of babies. Infantile colic in Santa Monica usually strikes toward the end of a long day, when your baby is just about at the age when your sleep deprivation has really begun to set in. It is not surprising that parents with colic infants feel dejected as they are caring for their child.
The first visit to the doctor of chiropractic, Dr. Raymond Hall DC, will include a detailed health history and initial examination; this will determine the extent of the infantile colic. Afterwards, the chiropractic will create a custom treatment regimen for your baby.
