Colic usually resolves itself within three to four months of age. However, there are things you can do to try to help your baby cope with colic. These include burping your baby after feedings, using a pacifier, swaddling, and taking breaks from feeding. If the colic persists for more than three to four months, you should consult your pediatrician for further advice.

When does colic normally go away?

Colic usually goes away by the time a baby is 3 to 4 months old. However, some babies may have colic until they are 6 months old. Signs that your baby’s colic is improving include fewer episodes of crying, longer periods of calm, and better sleep patterns.

Does colic end suddenly or gradually?

Colic typically ends suddenly and without warning. It usually resolves itself within three to four months, and can occasionally last for up to six months. The exact cause of colic is unknown, but it is thought to be related to a baby’s immature digestive system. Symptoms of colic usually appear in the first few weeks of life and can include excessive crying, fussiness, and difficulty sleeping. Treatment usually consists of soothing techniques, such as rocking and swaddling, as well as feeding changes.
