ExpertDr Disha PatelAyurvedic Physician3 years ago

A. no water even 1 or 2 dropes Hiccups are more common during early days. Hiccups often start when someone does two things together, like laughing when eating or drinking.Babies do not get upset from hiccups, so you do not need to try and stop a baby's hiccups, but if you want to try, give your baby something to drink a breast feed,

A. no water... proper latching position n burping after feeds will prevent hiccups

Sai Prasanthi R LMom of a 11 yr 6 m old boy3 years ago

A. Hello dear parent! Water should be given only after 6 months completion. Till then the baby should be either exclusively breastfed or formula fed only. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration. Hold your baby in upright position for sometime and gently rub on the back till the baby burps and releases the stuck air.
