Predictable periods of significant distress in an otherwise well-fed, healthy baby.
Self-care
Try offering a pacifier, turning on white noise, or gently rocking baby in arms or in a swing. If frustration runs high, let someone else take over or place baby in a crib.
When to seek immediate medical care
See a doctor immediately if:
- Possibly caused by a fall, injury, or illness
When to make a doctor's appointment
- Bluish cast to baby's lips or skin during a crying episode
- Changes in baby's eating, sleeping, or behavior
