My baby was born 4 weeks . Luckily there was no problems when he was born. and he will be 8 weeks on monday from his birthday. I think he is developing colic. And all the sites and books say it happens between 2 and 6 weeks of age, but does that go from his birthday or my expected due date? Im unsure. And the books also say it tapers off between 3 and 4 months, again, do you know if that goes from his birthday or from my due date. Anyone elses baby had this.

Thanks x

" The books count those weeks from due date meaning a full term baby. For prem also count from your due date. "

" Hello!
My daughter was born 8 weeks early (32 weeks) and did the same exact thing!!! She developed colic later on at I believe almost 12 weeks old, which corrected was 4 weeks. Her pedi said this was normal for preemies. "
