Question
After 10 days of birth, the baby often starts hiccuping after feeding milk or water, and it takes 20 minutes to stop. What are the reasons and solutions?
Answer
If the baby is in good spirits and has no other symptoms, there is no need to worry too much. You can try letting the baby cry for a few moments or adopt the method of feeding small amounts at regular intervals. After feeding, hold the baby upright and pat their back to help expel gas. You can also offer the baby some warm water several times. If the baby frequently hiccups and shows symptoms such as reduced appetite, weight loss, or frequent vomiting, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a detailed examination.
