About colic
What is infant colic?
Infant colic is a typical syndrome that usually manifests from birth and during the first months of life in healthy infants, characterized by intense, prolonged and inconsolable crying.
This situation can provoke in parents a deep feeling of anguish and desolation, which in many cases leads them to visit the pediatrician.
Still, it is a fairly common problem as it can affect 40% of infants up to 4 months of age.
The causes of colic in infants remain largely unknown, despite a wealth of information.
Parents and healthcare professionals continue to search for clear answers to help understand and manage this common problem. In some cases, specific solutions such as the use of digestive enzymes, like those present in Easycol BABY+®, can contribute to the baby’s well-being.
