The Surprising Symptoms Of Colic

Tension In The Body

Babies with colic will tense up their bodies when crying. They make their bodies very stiff when crying as a way to show irritability or discomfort. Their legs and abdomen will often feel tense during colic episodes. Tension in the body can also be felt in the fists and arms, and some infants will arch their backs when crying. The tension in the body could be a sign the infant is experiencing gas or indigestion. Babies may feel relief after having a bowel movement or passing gas. This is largely due to the fact babies swallow a considerable amount of air while crying, which can make gas worse.
