How long does colic usually last in an infant?

Colic typically lasts around 3-4 months in an infant. However, it can start as early as 2 weeks of age and can continue until 4-5 months.

It's important to note that:

* Not all babies experience colic. Some babies might have periods of fussiness that are not severe enough to be considered colic.

* There is no single cause for colic and it can vary in severity and duration.

* Colic is usually a harmless phase and does not indicate any underlying medical condition.

If you are concerned about your baby's fussiness, it is always best to consult with your pediatrician. They can help determine if your baby has colic and offer advice on how to manage it.
