"Colic 101: Everything You Need To Know"
You know babies are supposed to cry, but sometimes does it seem like your baby’s cries go on a little longer than “normal”? Like other parents, you’re probably wondering whether baby is suffering from what many of us dread—colic. And then there's gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) to consider. Blair Hammond, MD, assistant professor of pediatrics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, notes that “GERD can indeed bring about crying in a child—the kind you might mistake for colic. But they're two separate things. Colic is much more likely to occur in the evening hours," Dr. Hammond explains.
