16 to 30 percent of all young parents know the situation: For no apparent reason babies cry for hours, writhing with a red face and can be calmed by nothing. The name of the phenomenon: Dreimonatskolik, excessive crying or dysregulation. From the second week to the third month of life, the affected infants cry for several hours a day, several days a week.

Formerly of the Dreimonatskolik was talk, as you given the immature digestive system of babies it considered that the children would be tormented by colic. However, this does not apply to all babies cry. Since excessive crying is caused rarely by a genuine colic and may have different backgrounds, the colloquial term of Dreimonatskolik place in professional circles hardly use. When it comes to babies cry, pediatricians and child psychologists speak of a "regulatory disorder in infancy."

Symptoms of excessive crying

The symptoms of "excessive crying" by the American pediatrician Morris Wessel described in 1954. Meanwhile, today accepted "rule of three" sets of when we can speak of excessive crying or even by a dysregulation in infancy. There is consequently the symptoms when a baby for at least three weeks at least three days a week and for more than three hours a day crying, without being calm down.

For more detailed symptoms of dysregulation are: or more acute phases of crying for no apparent reason,

Tagschlafphasen short of less than 30 minutes, accompanied by falling asleep, evening fatigue and overstimulation, so focuses the insatiable cries amplified to the evening.

Usually takes the symptoms of excessive crying from the second week on until about the third month of a baby, so had the colloquial term of three month colic established long time. The cry of attack must first be preceded not even a physical pain. Rather suffer the already very sensitive cry babies under restlessness or the evening typical overstimulation. When crying babies swallow a lot of air that accumulates in the digestive tract and causes bloating. The result is that babies cry in pain now, pull the legs and bend together.

Causes, diagnosis and exclusion of other diseases

The causes of excessive crying may be both physical and psychological. Also play the social background and family situation play an important role. Excessive crying could also be based on a combination of factors.

Since babies can not express their complaints about them, the only way through the screaming. So clear diagnoses are not always easy. To rule out other diseases that have parents of a babys cry consult a pediatrician.

Causes of crying may be true in some cases due to colic food intolerance or discomfort due to the change in diet after feeding. In addition to general medical side of organic damage and broken bones are excluded.
