Background: Infantile colic is a condition in which an infant shows signs of distress and parents especially mothers not
know what the cause of the infant's crying and how to deal with it so it is very important to enhance mothers' knowledge
and practices related to infantile colic to enhance quality of life of both family and their infants. Aim of the Study: This
study aimed to evaluate effect of educational program for mothers about care of their infants with infantile colic. Design:

Emergency Department and Outpatient Clinics (Pediatric General Clinic) affiliated to Mansoura University Children's

pre-educational program and improved to be less than two thirds at post- educational program, Also, about three-quarters
of them had unsatisfactory reported practices at the pre- educational program that decreased to be minority of them had
unsatisfactory reported practices at the post- educational program. Conclusion: There was a highly statistically
