  • What is Colic?

    All babies cry. But when an otherwise healthy baby suffers from extreme fussiness, often defined as crying for more than 3 hours per day, more than 3 days per week for at least 3 weeks, they may have a condition called colic.

  • Fussy While Breastfeeding

    Nursing is usually a powerfully bonding experience that calms and satisfies the baby. Sometimes, though, I hear from parents that their baby screams at the breast, which can feel so disheartening.
