Hi! Yes unfortunately breastfed babies do get colic! Our son had it and his usually occured between 6-10pm. Your HV will actually advise you whether it is colic or not but signs to look out for are inconsolable crying and stomach spasms (often shown through bringing legs up as if in pain and often you can feel the stomach clench with each spasm). They will also advise best treatment but I found ours was greatly helped with a change to my diet ie cut out a lot of dairy products. Warm bath (especially in a tummy tub), warm hot water bottle applied to baby’s stomach, skin on skin (the heat from you also helps against the tummy area) and baby massage. Good luck!
