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.
you have to offer feeding as well as do proper burping(for atleast 20 minutes) to decrease this problem and it is a self lixmiting problem
during hiccups just give breastfeeding again and keep the child in upright position for burping which will stop the episode

Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl2 years agoA. hi
yes ,it is usually normal
it happens because of fast feeding, overfeeding or incorrect latching etc
so please make sure that your child latches properly.
avoid overfeeding.
feed your child on demand.
don't wait until your child is extremely hungry for feeding
burp your baby in between and after each feeding
