How Long Does Colic Last? Parents with colicky babies generally have one very important question and that is, How long does colic last? Colic is described as a baby who cries inconsolably for three or more hours per day at least three days per week. Colic generally begins between one week and six weeks of age and lasts up to three or four months. There are some babies whose colic will subside before this point and other babies who will be colicky up to six months of age. There is no hard and fast rule about when colic subsides, although the vast majority of babies find relief around three months of age.
Colic normally gets better at 12 weeks. If baby was early you have to allow for that (1 week early means it gets better at 13 weeks). Usually, it gets better very suddenly, over a few days they just get better and better and then suddenly its all over. There are the VERY RARE cases of colic that go on for a long time. My baby didn't get better until 7 months, but we still don't know if it was really colic, all the doctors said something different. The word colic is a medical term that means pain in the lower abdominal region. It is not a specific illness.
