Does infantile colic occur every day?
Episodes of infantile colic are unpredictable, yet if digestive system abnormalities occur frequently over a short period, they can lead to daily colic episodes with a variety of causes. For instance, babies tend to cry or swallow large amounts of air due to rapid feeding, leading to intestinal gas and stimulating the intestinal mucosal nerves, resulting in colic. Additionally, certain substances in breast milk or formula, such as excessive sugars or fats, can cause indigestion and excessive intestinal gas production, further stimulating colic. When such symptoms appear, parents should first rule out surgical issues like intestinal intussusception or obstruction. Colic episodes can be alleviated through abdominal massage and dietary adjustments.
