In this episode of Ten Kids Two Docs, Dr. Sylvia Bank and Dr. Vivian Carlin break down what colic actually is, what parents can try at home, which commonly recommended remedies don't have strong evidence behind them, and—perhaps most importantly—how parents can make it through this incredibly difficult season.
