Why Does My Baby Have Colic? Causes & Remedies for Colic

Abdominal pain and colic are not uncommon in babies during the first months of life. An immature digestive system, swallowing air during feeding, or overstimulation can be triggers. Learn how you can gently support your baby with tummy massages, the "colic hold," the right heat pillow, and a calm environment, and when a visit to the pediatrician is advisable.

Baby Belly Pain & Colic – what really helps?

Is your baby crying, pulling up their legs, and looking tense? Many parents immediately think of belly pain or colic. In fact, after birth, the little body first has to get used to the new world. The intestines and digestion are still immature. Therefore, crying does not automatically mean pain – sometimes hunger, fatigue, or overstimulation are the cause.

Why do babies get belly pain?

In the first few months, the digestive tract is not yet fully developed. The well-known three-month colic often occurs in the first three months of life. They are usually harmless but strenuous.

Typical triggers for abdominal pain:

Swallowing air during breastfeeding or bottle feeding
Hasty drinking or unfavorable drinking position
Lack of burping
Many stimuli during the day
