Question
Doctor, I’ve noticed that my baby has been frequently hiccuping for a while now. What should I do?
Answer
If your baby experiences abdominal bloating after feeding and frequently hiccups, it may be due to a small bottle opening that causes the baby to suck too hard while feeding, swallowing too much air, leading to bloating. To help the baby expel gas and prevent hiccups and spitting up, you can try the following methods: hold the baby for a while after feeding, gently pat the baby’s back, or gently massage the baby’s abdomen. These methods can effectively alleviate the baby’s hiccups.
