Infantile colic: maternal smoking as potential risk factor

S A Reijneveld et al. Arch Dis Child. 2000 Oct.

Abstract

The association of maternal smoking and type of feeding with colic was assessed in 3345 children aged 1-6 months (96% response). The prevalence of colic was twofold higher among infants of smoking mothers, but less among breastfed infants. Maternal smoking as a potential risk factor for infantile crying needs further study.
