Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. hiccups in children occur duxe to gas which is present in the stomach.
during the feeding process child takes air along with milk and that air goes inside the stomach which irritatesd leading to hiccups.
you have to offer feeding as well as do properd burping(for atleast 20 minutes) to decrease this problem and it is a self limiting problem
Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl3 years agoA. hi
usually it is normal
please feed your child on demand
burp your baby well after each feeding
but if a child is feeling difficulty in breathing, feeding or sleeping , get very frequent hiccups for more than 5 minutes then you should consult your pediatrician
