When a normal baby has crying spells for over three hours at a time, at least three days a week in a 3-week span, the infant most likely has FL infantile colic. Excessive gas, abnormal peristalsis, and food allergies or intolerances have been suggested causes of infantile colic, but the exact cause has not been determined.
In a normal, growing infant, infantile colic can begin between the first and second week of life. After it reaches a peak at around week six, infantile colic ceases during the second to third month. As a matter of fact, 20-30% of infants are affected by infantile colic in Fort Myers. The infant usually starts to cry at the end of the day and usually at around the age when the parents start to really feel the sleep deprivation. Often, the parents of colic babies become very depressed and highly frustrated.
Your chiropractor, Dr Brandon Perkins DC, will perform a thorough history and examination on your infant to determine the extent and severity of the infantile colic. The chiropractor will then design a specific treatment plan for your child.
