In this article, some aspects of the phenomenon of infantile colic or fussing and crying behavior in early infancy are reviewed. The major points addressed are as follows: 1) evidence that infants with colic differ significantly in their pattern of distressed behavior from noncolicky infants; 2) the evidence of colic in children with known food allergy; 3) the incidence of food allergy in children with colic; 4) the outcome of trials focusing on the dietary management of colic; 5) the outcome of studies involving behavior modification in colic; 6) the outcome of a preliminary trial of modification of maternal diet in very young infants with colic; and 7) findings of a systematic review of different treatments for colic.
Hill et al. (Sat,) studied this question.
