Ouch! Common Sports Injuries in Children

More children are competing in athletic activities than ever before.  While the numerous health benefits of physical activity are well documented (including weight management, bone health, and improved self-esteem), participation in formal athletics also carries the risk of injury.

Crying and Colic

All infants will cry, some more than others.  In fact, infants will cry more during the first three months of their lives than at any other time.  It is normal for crying to total nearly two hours a day in the first six weeks and to slowly decrease to approximately 70 minutes a day by twelve weeks.  Most crying is distressing for families, and even more so when the crying is felt to be excessive or due to colic.
