Your baby cries every afternoon for hours at a time, and the crying has worn you down to the point where you feel like joining in. What could be upsetting your child? Though all newborns cry and show some fussiness, when a child who is otherwise healthy cries for more than 3 hours per day, it is a condition known as colic, which is perfectly normal and eventually goes away on its own. It's estimated that up to 25% of all infants have colic. It usually starts between the 3rd and 6th week after birth, and goes away on its own by the time the baby is 3 months old. If the baby is still crying excessively after that time, some sort of health problem may be to blame.Your baby cries every afternoon for hours at a time, and the crying has worn you down to the point where you feel like joining in.
