A. the recurrent stretching / curving of the body again and again as well as uncomfort / making grunting sounds as well as hiccups as well as colic pain all are due to gas in the intestine and stomach. it is very important that after giving milk to the child you should keep the child in upright position and do burping for 15 to 20 minutes(irrespective that you hear the burps or not). gas in stomach causes hiccups. do not keep the child back on the bed after 1 burping because one time burping will not remove all the gas and if the gas is not removed propesrly it goes into intestine causing abnormal distension and that sawill lead to colic pain again and again. keep the chizld in upright position whether you hear the burping sound or not and also it is not important that you will hear the sound when the child removes the air from the oral cavity.

A. good morning it is absolutely fine nothing to worry about these are combinations even with children who are completely on mothers milk I would recommend you to try to give your child hot compress on the stomach
