2-month-old baby colic problem?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Colic is common in 2-month-olds—typically defined as crying fits in an otherwise healthy baby at least 3 days a week, lasting longer than 3 hours, with no clear cause. It usually peaks in the evening and improves on its own by 3-4 months.

Gas cramps, immature digestive system, or overstimulation may play a role. But first, make sure the baby isn't hungry, has a clean diaper, doesn't have fever, and isn't sick. If a 2-month-old has fever of 38°C or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, blood in stool, or besides fussiness seems drowsy and unresponsive, there may be an underlying condition—consult a pediatrician immediately.

During crying episodes, try a calm environment, swaddling, gentle rocking, "shhh" sounds, a car ride, or a pacifier. Colic is diagnosed by exclusion—when the doctor rules out other medical causes. Getting a pediatric exam to be sure is recommended.
