A new view on interpretations the ethiology of the phenomenon – colics in the newborn

The information available and the multitude of studies on the problem of colic in the newborn contain contradictory data and to date can not definitively explain the truth about the nature and cause of this phenomenon. There is no specificity in approaches to the therapy of the condition and alleviation of the anxiety of the baby. The publication aims to draw attention to the need to create a new approach to the search for the etiology of colics in the infant, based on the phenomenon of colic infarction in babies deprived of parental care, as well as taking into account another phenomenon the lack of colics in children raised in the medical sector for newborns, but in the presence of the mother. The lack of colic in neonatal infant care homes is a phenomenon that, in our opinion, involves more in-depth research into the possibility that the mother's anxiety, projecting her unconscious feelings on the infant, would give more clarity to the issue for the etiology of the colic phenomenon in the newborn.
