Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 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 limiting problem
it is very important that after giving milk to the child you
should keep the child in upright position and do burping for 15 to 20 minutes.
do not keep the child back on the bed after 1 burping because if the gas is not removed properly it will lead to
colic pain and more hiccups
