when does baby gas pain start?

Newborn gas pain (colic) usually starts when the baby is 2-3 weeks old, reaches its peak around week 6, and usually decreases and disappears around 3-4 months. It can last until 4-5 months in some babies, but typical colic symptoms don't appear after the sixth month.
The most distinctive feature: the baby is usually fussy at the same times of day (very often late afternoon to evening), pulls legs to belly, face reddens, and is difficult to console. For a colic diagnosis, there must be crying for at least 3 hours a day, at least 3 days a week, for at least 3 weeks. If your baby is gaining weight well during this period and eating normally, it's usually a developmental process — not a disease. Still, if you're unsure, consulting your pediatrician can be reassuring.
