Colic may also occur because the baby has lactose intolerance or allergies to cow's milk or infant formula. However, the specific mechanism causes of colic has yet known. Colic usually disappears within a few weeks and no long-term impact on the health of the baby. In addition, most colicky babies still have a good appetite and weight gain is normal.

Newborn baby will cry a few days with the intonation that reflects the language used by parents. Babies learn a language that is often heard that since the third trimester of pregnancy.The conclusions drawn by researchers from the German is to listen to fetal native language during the last trimester of pregnancy will be laying the foundations of learning the language before the baby is born.
By analyzing the sound of crying newborns, the researchers found differences in voice intonation patterns between German and French infants newly born. The results of this study itself has been published in Current Biology.
"The findings of this study is the dramatic babies are preferred to produce distinctive patterns of melodies have often heard in the fetus during the last trimester of pregnancy," said Kathleen Wermke senior researcher, from the University of Wurzburg, as quoted by AP.
Most of influence given may come from the mother. Although the fetus can hear his voice, but this mother's voice can be transmitted through the vocal cord vibration.
School of Public Health. "We know that the mother's voice is the most prominent in providing an external stimulus to the fetus," says Janet DiPietro, development psychologist at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Researchers recorded the cries of the 60 newborns with the parents who spoke French and German, this baby aged 3 to 5 days. A sound pattern analysis shows a difference in the melodies of crying baby.
Newborns from French parents tend to cry with the sound contours from low to high while the baby from the German parent has a sound pattern changes from high to low.
Previous research has shown that the fetus is capable of forming memories in the womb of the important things in the early learning process. Besides the changes will usually occur when the baby's heartbeat sound often heard (familiar). Memories may occur early in the third trimester which is the starting point of the hearing system began to respond to acoustic signals.
There is nothing wrong for parents to more often take the baby in the womb to speak during the third trimester, it can be used as a stimulus and make a baby learns language used by parents.
The baby's crying is a way of communication is most important before the baby learns to talk.After doing a struggle to get through the pregnancy and 40 weeks of pregnancy for the mother the baby would be born, and cried loudly. The first baby crying sound like the most beautiful music may be heard by the mother.
As babies get older, it was kind of a crying baby have meanings respectively in accordance with the form of a crying baby. Here are some types of infant cries that can be recognized by the mother so that she is easy to decide what action needed when the baby's mother cried.
Hungry
When hungry, the baby usually cries out that a particular pattern. Babies may cry and then stop to breathe and then cry and then stop again to breathe. The crying is usually interspersed with a sucking motion on the baby's mouth. When the baby's hand happened to be near the mouth, could have a baby to suck and movements such as when looking for a nipple to feed.
Bored
If the baby's mother bored, usually a baby whining for the approach and invited to play. The baby's crying is usually short and then stopped for a while until a short silence and then crying again.
Tired
When the baby was tired we must immediately give the baby a soft caress. Crying baby when he was tired of the whining is usually almost the same as when bored. The difference is the baby's crying is accompanied by movement rubbing his face with his hands and rolled his head from side to side.
Loneliness
Babies who feel lonely are usually consecutive whining in an average interval of one minute. To overcome this problem immediately or take him to play for a long time talking to the baby feel good.
Not Comfortable
At the time the baby was cold, too hot or exposed to mosquito bites, the baby may feel uncomfortable. Because this is usually a baby will cry a little shrill cries type and clear. Baby breath a little choked up but quickly turned into tears followed by others.
Colic - Cramps - Cramp Intestine
When babies feel pain in the stomach area due to intestinal cramps, spasms and colic baby crying very hard to screaming and episodic: a moment comes, a moment lost, but only one - two minutes. After that, the baby is crying again. The crying is usually followed by a hand gesture toward the abdomen tied accompanied by the baby's body and dispose of the wind. If this baby has tried to rub his stomach with Talon oil to reduce the pain.
Sick
If the baby feels pain (more pain compared with colic or intestinal cramping) baby would cry very hard. The crying is usually quite squeaky interspersed with groans and whimpers. When her stomach became more shrill cries and more won. When this happens your baby, the mother immediately contacted the doctor because this pain indicates something that needs special care for the baby.
Because babies communicate through crying, the mother should recognize the meaning of the baby crying. This is necessary so that mothers can do the right thing to soothe your baby's mother. During pregnancy we did not think of it, but now she must learn to recognize the crying baby crying to subside quickly so as not to wake the whole family what my next door neighbor.
