My son was colicky (sp?) from about 4 weeks until he was 5 months or so. It was trying. He seemed to be overly gassy (even though he was primarily breast fed), and the only thing I could do to comfort him in the bad times (when it did help, that is) was hold him tight, tummy to tummy. Didn't seem to work when anyone else did it, but he was too little to be spoiled at that time, so who knows. The gas drops were a staple in our home at that time. Definitely tell the new mommy to try those.
Colic is never the same with any two children, from what I've read, but it usually doesn't last longer than a few months, at most.
