Advantages: There aren't any advantages but they should grow out of it.

Disadvantages: Your child will look like there in alot of pain, theres not a lot you can do to help them.

Firstly I will explain what colic is: it is when a baby cries uncontrollably for a long time and for no apparent reason. No matter how hard you try to comfort them they carry on crying. Experts think that one of the main factors that could cause colic is trapped wind but this hasn't been proven. Most babies grow out of colic after a few months.

When my girls were a few months old they suffered from colic, it was only for 10 days, but it was horrible. For some reason they would suffer from it at the same time every night it used to be from 9pm to 12pm. It was horrible as they would scream like they were in so much pain. There face would go red and they would lift there legs up and there hands would clench up and there stomach would tense. I hated every minute of it. We were staying at my mum and dads at the time and they helped loads all we could really do was cuddle them and try to reassure them they were alright. One thing we found that did slightly help them was Infacol and grip water. Which helps bring up trapped wind, they seemed to calm down slightly but still didn't stop crying completely. To our relief after 10 days they stopped having colic it just passed over and they stopped screaming.

It makes yourself feel so horrible when they have colic, as you can see there in so much pain and you can't help them. I've only got a couple tips when you give them there bottles make sure there well winded. If they do start to suffer from colic just be there for them don't ignore there crying hold them and talk to them. If they are suffering really bad from it then take them to the doctors, and they will be able to give you some advice or medicine for your child. I just hope your baby doesn't have it for long and remember it's not your fault

Summary: Overall when your baby has colic it is horrible as there in so much pain and you can't help them.
