Q.

Hlw doctor my baby is 20 days old She often gets hiccups and gas and cries a lot while I breast feed her

A. 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. 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
