8 week old (corrected age 3 wks) little man seems colicky (screaming/shouting-type cries, back arching, leg thrashing, straining and farting) on and off all day and all night. Have read the various threads on colic and it seems the bottom line is you just have to sit it out - but for how long? The books say it usually goes by 3 monthss - but that's also what they said about morning sickness and that was a complete lie in my experience! What was your experience of colic? Also, does anyone know if for prem babies you'd look at the corrected age - hope not as that would give me an extra 5 weeks of it!!

Poll please - exactly how long can colic go on for?!
