Intestinal colic is a very common symptom in children, with most experiencing it at some point. Generally, it begins two weeks after birth and peaks around one month of age, although some babies may only gradually improve between four to six months. For the prevention of intestinal colic, it's important to burp the child for ten minutes after each feeding. Between feedings, massaging the abdomen clockwise helps prevent bloating. If a child experiences intestinal colic, timely abdominal massage or using the "airplane hold" can alleviate the symptoms.
