What causes colic pain in babies?

When a healthy baby cries without a clear reason, it could be colic. Let's understand what is colic and why it makes babies cry.

  • Newborns may feel gas pain because of an undeveloped digestive system. 
  • Acid reflux may also cause colic, leading to spitting up and the baby feeling irritable.
  • Sometimes, colic may also result from milk protein allergies in formula-fed babies.
