Colic affects between 5 percent and 25 percent of infants between 2 weeks and 4 months old. If you have a baby that cries predictably for at least three hours a day with no end in sight, you might have a colicky baby on your hands. While there may not be a whole lot you can do about it in the interim, just knowing what colic is and being aware that there is indeed an end in sight might help you gain some peace of mind.
