Abstract in brief

  • Colic is characterized by excessive, inconsolable crying in infants, which can lead to parental stress, abuse, and health risks like shaken baby syndrome, with limited evidence supporting specific treatments.
  • Elimination communication (EC) is a method where caregivers respond to infant cues signaling needs to urinate or defecate, potentially reducing gut distention that may contribute to colic symptoms.
  • The process involves recognizing cues such as crying, squirming, or facial grimacing, and responding gently by supporting the infant in a position that promotes complete elimination, which may improve comfort and decrease colic.
