Summary: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.
