The researchers found that around 29 percent of babies whose mothers suffered from migraines had colic while it was just 11 percent among babies whose mothers did not have migraines.
"Since migraine is a highly genetic disorder, our study suggests that infant colic may be an early sign that a child may be predisposed toward migraine headache later in life. Colic may be another example of a childhood periodic syndrome, which is often a precursor to migraine", lead researcher Amy Gelfand said.
