Diagnosis of Babies crying
High-pitched, inconsolable crying, particularly after feeding or in the late afternoon or evening, is a classic symptom of colic. It is often accompanied by drawing their knees up towards their stomach. Colic is very common in newborn babies, and may continue for the first three to four months after birth. It is caused by poor digestion, tiny bubbles of trapped wind, or (more rarely) by lactose intolerance.
