Abstract

The persistent and unexplained crying of newborns, attributed to colic, is a frequent problem in paediatrics. Usually considered harmless, it can however have consequences on the baby's behaviour and emotional regulation. Moreover, mothers often misinterpret the crying. Faced with the maternal anxiety which is often associated, treatment must be multifocal.
