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 is a frustrating condition marked by predictable periods of significant distress in an otherwise well-fed, healthy baby. Babies with colic often cry more than three hours a day, three days a week for three weeks or longer. Nothing you do to try to help your baby during these episodes seems to bring any relief. Colic can be distressing for both you and your baby. But take comfort: Colic is relatively short-lived. In a matter of weeks or months, the colic will end, and you'll have weathered one of the first major challenges of parenthood.
