A member asked:
My baby is three weeks old. she keeps arching her back, moans & gets fussy when i put her down on her back. it seems like cramps as she goes red in the face & pulls her arms & legs tight over & over.this only happens once or twice daily.is it colic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: A common research definition of colic is 3 or more hours of unexplained fussiness for at least 3 days a week in the 1st 3 months of life. An infants only communication skill is to fuss, so it may represent any desire they have. That would more attention, loneliness, discomfort, or anything else. I wouldn't assume cramps since their belly gets hard when they fuss.
