Background: Infantile colic is a functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) of aged 0 –

5 months babies that consists of a prolonged and hard-to-soothe crying period. Althoughinfantile colic will naturally stop, it is a known source of problem for the baby, parents,and health workers. Knowledge and attitude of mothers on infantile colic in Indonesiahave never been reported before, thus this study will assess mother’s knowledge andattitude about infantile colic and related factors that may influence them.Goal: To find out prevalence of infantile colic and knowledge and attitude of mother on

infantile colic.Methods: This study was an observational analytical cross-sectional study.

Questionnaires to evaluate knowledge and attitude of mothers toward infantile colic

were given to randomly assigned samples. Score of mother’s knowledge and attitude

were analyzed with demographic factors, such as mother’s age, socioeconomic status,

and number of children.Results: Infantile colic prevalence was found to be 13.1%. The median and IQR of

mother’s knowledge score was 8 (2) from maximal score of 12 while the median and

IQR of mother’s attitude score was 10 (2) from maximal score of 14. A statistically

significant difference was found on mother’s knowledge with different socioeconomic

status. Mothers with high socioeconomic status had knowledge score of 10 (2)

compared to low socioeconomic status mothers who had knowledge score of 8 (4).Conclusion: Socioeconomic factor was found to be a significant factor affecting

mother’s knowledge on infantile colic. However, there are some points of knowledge

and attitude of mothers that were not correct. These points should be addressed by

physicians and considered in giving education for mothers to improve their knowledge

and attitude on infantile colic.
