SmithiMom of a 4 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. try to burp baby between the feeds to reduce the air intake which also reduces hiccups
Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. very important to give breastfeeding at that point because it occurs due to the gas the child takes while taking milk or breastfeeding
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
