Abstract
Infantile colic is the leading cause of parental visits to the pediatrician due to anxiety and crying of the newborn. Difficulties in the management and treatment of infants with intestinal colic are defined by the lack of consensus and clear evidence-based guidelines. The role of the intestinal microbiota in the development of infantile colic has now been proven in a large number of comparative studies of the microflora in infants with and without colic. Given the huge role of the nature of the microbiota in relation to colic in both artificially and breastfed infants, probiotics have a special place in its correction.
