A. yes hiccups in children occur due to gas which is present in the stomach. during the feedxing process child takes air along with milk and that air goes inside the stomach which irritates leading to hiccups. 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

A. Hello dear parent! As long as your baby is not showing any discomfort symptoms then it is alright. While breastfeeding ensure that your baby latches well, so that no air goes inside your baby’s mouth. Burp the baby after every feed. Use Babyhug tummy roll on.
