CA infantile colic affects normal infants, where the baby cries for three hours a day, at least three days a week, over the span of three weeks. The specific cause of infantile colic has not been found, but some attribute food allergies, excessive gas, and abnormal peristalsis as contributing factors.
Infantile colic starts occurring when an infant is one or two weeks old and is at its height at about six weeks. Infantile colic usually stops when the baby is about 2-3 months old. Between 20-30% of all newborns are colicky babies. Infantile colic in San Mateo often begins at the end of a long day, and symptoms show at around the age where the parents have been sleep deprived from caring for the baby. 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, Dean Harman DC, will include a detailed health history and initial examination; this will determine the extent of the infantile colic. Then, a personalized chiropractic treatment plan will be created for your baby.
