A. I researched more about long hiccups in babies and found that it may be due to GERD or acid reflux. Also I have seen my baby is arching his back during breastfeeding, I initially thought it is just normal but today I found somewhere that it can be symptom of heartburn / GERD. I'm already started taking care of proper interval between feeding sessions etc. But I think my baby needs some medicine to get relief. Please suggest some medicine.
