Author of questionGuardian of a 2 yr 9 m old boy2 years agoA. Dear Doctor,
While finished burping my baby start playing for some time and after that he is having hiccups. Please suggest.
Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy2 years agoA. hiccups in children occur due 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 irritates leading to hiccups. d
you have to offer feeding as well as do proper burping(for atleast 20 minutes) to decrease this problem and it is a self limiting problem
duringd hiccups just give breastfeeding again and keep the child in upright position for burping which will stop the episode
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy2 years agoA. Hiccups are normal and usually don't hurt your baby. In younger babies, hiccups are usually a sign that they need to be seated upright during or after feeding, that feeding needs to be slower for them, or that they need more time before or after feeding to relax.
