📋Overview
This condition is classified as a functional gastrointestinal disorder that typically manifests within the first few weeks of life. It is defined by frequent periods of irritability or fussiness that occur without an identifiable organic cause or underlying medical illness.
Clinical observation indicates that these episodes often resolve spontaneously by the time an infant reaches three to four months of age. While the exact etiology remains under investigation, the term remains the preferred clinical designation for this pattern of behavior in early development.
