The newborn’s belly makes a rumbling sound, and the baby has been hiccuping severely for half a month. The belly is always gurgling. Is it due to poor digestion? What are the causes of hiccups? How should one deal with them?

Newborn hiccups occur due to the intake of excessive air, leading to bloating. Parents can handle this by adopting correct feeding positions and massaging the baby’s abdomen to help expel gas, preventing hiccups or regurgitation of milk.
