Sometimes the bawling can go on for as long as three hours or more. The parents feel helpless as they see their young ones break their voice with the crying and everything they try to do to soothe falls futile.

They fail to point out the actual reason as their knowledge about infantile colic is limited or nil. Sometimes it becomes even difficult to get over with the regular rounds of feeding as the baby hardly keeps still and is always writhing in pain. The little cherub keeps screaming all through the night and the parents and neither go to sleep nor do they know any remedy to get rid of the suffering to their child.
