Diagnosing Colic - Rule of Three


Here are the most common colic baby symptoms:

  • Babies do not cry himself to sleep rather cry relentlessly, sometimes for hours.
  • Babies do not tend to wind down; instead they tend to wind up and work themselves into frenzy.
  • Babies do not always follow a pattern. What calms them at a given moment may excite them at another.
  • Unlike other infants, when crying begins the colicky infant will rarely stop crying on his own, so waiting is out usually does not work. Instead, intervening quickly is helpful.


Experts usually define colic by the "Rule of Threes." What's that mean? Well, "rule of threes means a baby is otherwise healthy and well-fed (i.e. is gaining weight and exhibits no signs of illness); but has episodes of crying, irritability and fussiness that:
  • Begin within the first three weeks of life
  • Last up to or more than three hours a day
  • Occur at least three or more days a week
  • Continue for at least three weeks
  • Disappear at about three months of age
