Endless crying? Is Baby suffering from colic?

 

If a healthy baby cries for long hours each day, they may be suffering from colic. This common issue can affect not only the well-being of the infant but also the fatigue and irritability of the parents. In newborns, extended periods of crying can be attributed to colic, especially if the baby seems inconsolable.

 

Colic symptoms can occur during the first month of life but typically peak around 6 weeks and end when the baby is 3 to 4 months old. They may include cramps, abdominal pain, spasms, or gas.⁶

Does your child occasionally experience mild sleeping disorders?

Sleep is as fundamental to our health as food or water. Indeed, not getting enough sleep can impact our productivity, behavior, and consequently, our quality of life.⁸ According to data from Health Canada on sleep, 1 in 4 Canadian children has insufficient sleep. Over time, lack of sleep affects how a child feels, behaves, and interacts. This can lead to hyperactivity (17.2%), stress (21.5%), or even poor mental health (11.2%). Good sleep is part of a healthy lifestyle and can help children have better physical health and simply feel better.⁹

Many factors can influence the amount of sleep infants and children need.
