Question
What should I do if my baby frequently has hiccups?
Answer
Baby hiccups are a normal physiological occurrence, usually caused by underdeveloped abdominal muscles. It is recommended to try feeding the baby in small, frequent amounts and to give the baby a sip of warm water between feedings or redirect the baby’s attention in other ways to reduce the frequency of hiccups. Hiccups are not as uncomfortable as adults might imagine, and there is no need to worry excessively.
