Question

After a newborn is born, hiccups often occur after each feeding, which can be frustrating for parents. How should this situation be handled?

Answer

Newborn hiccups may be caused by improper feeding methods. It is recommended to keep each feeding session under 20 minutes and adopt an appropriate feeding posture. Avoid lying the baby down for feeding and instead, hold the baby while using the cradle hold method. Additionally, overfeeding or digestive system issues may also lead to hiccups, so make sure to maintain the correct feeding posture and pay attention to the baby’s digestion.
