Infants presenting with these symptoms should be assessed by a qualified medical practitioner to rule out other diagnoses.4 In some cases, excessive crying may mean an infant is presenting in pain, needing urgent investigation (see “warning signals” in [nursinginpractice.com]

• Neglect

  Both fathers and mothers suffered with their babies, felt powerless and overwhelmed by strong feelings and neglected their other needs. To get through this period, parents used various strategies to ease their baby's pain. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  While some cases of infantile colic have been attributed to excessive intestinal gas, the time and attention taken by the parent to burp the baby may also have a therapeutic effect, especially if the infant is often neglected. [healthhype.com]

  Infant colic can lead to increased familial stress, and sometimes serious consequences such as shaken baby syndrome, child abuse or neglect. [nuemblog.com]

• Hyperalgesia

  […] the available data fail to provide insight into the exact triggers of infantile colic, these do allow for the hypothesis that certain infants are predisposed to dietary protein intolerance and disturbed gut motility, such as visceral hypersensitivity/ hyperalgesia [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Alternatively, strategies to improve gut microflora and reduce hyperperistalsis and hyperalgesia may be more appropriate. These will be considered in turn below. [jfhc.co.uk]

Prognosis Infantile colic is a benign and self-limiting condition that typically resolves spontaneously by three months of age. [statpearls.com]

The etiology is unknown although many hypotheses have been proposed. Colic can be very frustrating for parents to deal with, thus it is important to provide reassurance and resources. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of infantile colic remains unclear. Many risk factors assessed but no one is certain. We invastigate ethiology, risk factors and treatment methods of infantile colic. Key words: Infantile colic, ethiology, treatment [scopemed.org]

Etiologies are likely multifactorial, and treatment recommendations vary based on those potential etiologies. [statpearls.com]

Results: At present, infantile colic is an area of clinical research both in terms of etiology and treatment. Various etiological theories have been proposed but none of them are strong enough to completely describe the condition. [indianpediatrics.net]

At that time little evidence regarding epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnostic work-up, treatment strategies and follow-up was available. Consequently the criteria for the clinical entities were more experience than evidence based. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology Baby colic is very common, occurring in round 10-30% of infants. [ 1 ] It affects males and females equally. Breast-fed and formula-fed infants are equally affected. [patient.info]

However, the pathophysiological clues indicate that infantile colic is a shared pathology between the mother and the baby, especially in the case of breastfeeding mothers. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology has been described in various ways in different studies and yet not conclusive. [banglajol.info]

The pathophysiology of this clinical phenotype is poorly understood, but it is a cause of increasing interest in gluten-free diets in the general population. [dx.doi.org]

Meanwhile, L. reuteri DSM 17938 has been suggested, for the first time, to be possibly effective in preventing infantile colic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Of those using L reuteri, 1 prevention and 6 treatment trials showed consistent benefit in breast-fed babies. [emedicine.medscape.com]
