In a new study, mothers with a history of migraines were two and a half times more likely to have colicky babies.
The research raises the possibility that colic may be an early sign of migraines later in life.
Dr. A. David Rothner, of the Cleveland Clinic says. "It also gives you an opportunity to prepare for it. So, you can be thinking, my goodness if I have migraine, there's a greater chance that my child will have colic. That might also be some comfort."
Doctors conducting the study also wonder whether reducing stimulation for these babies may ease colic the way reducing light and noise helps migraine sufferers.
In a separate study on migraine, doctors have found a new connection to depression.
After looking at 36-thousand women over 14 years, they've found that those with migraines are 40% more likely to develop depression.
And they don't think it's just due to years of dealing with pain.
Researchers believe migraines and depression follow similar pathways through nerves, or chemicals in the brain.
And some people inherit that hypersensitive nervous system.
Past studies have shown that those with depression are more likely to develop migraines.
