Colic in a one-week-old baby

It's rare for babies to have colic in their first week of life, but it can happen. Here's some information to help you:

• It's a good idea to talk to your pediatrician, who will check to make sure your baby is doing well.
• Infant colic is not serious, even if it is painful.
• Colic is caused by intestinal immaturity, allergy to cow's milk, or simply anxiety.
• Provide a soothing environment for your baby.
• Make sure you are overfeeding your baby and that they don't swallow air while eating.
