title: Colic.
abstract: Colic begins between the second and sixth week of life and usually abates by the fourth month of life. Crying may occur any time of the day but is most common after the evening feeding. Removal of cow's-milk protein from the diet eliminates colic in 30 percent of infants. Simethicone and an antispasmodic agent are sometimes helpful.
