[DDS]

Anyone able to suggest anything for hiccups for my litle one.
She normally gets it after feeding, i am giving her infacol etc.

Lola always has them too! She did though when I was pregnant too
Im the same as Hen but with the bottle! She usually gets them half way through a feed and drinking the rest tends to help! If not I give her some water if its bothering her!!

Does LO seem distress? If not you don't need to do anything.
DD had them for at least an hour a day while I was pregnant and her hiccups continued after she was born. She gets them less often now. she was never bothered by them. The only thing is you can't get her to sleep until after they are finished.

My advice is let your LO scream just for a tiny while (as in a minute) its the only thing that works for Ollie and he's much happier after.

Isla gets them all the time too!
They sound well odd..like a sink plunger!

Drinking more milk always gets rid of them..dunno how she drinks with hiccups...I cant!

Poppy used to have them all the time when I was pregnant with her and she still gets them loads now. They don't seem to bother her so I just leave her be and they disappear on their own eventually

We put him in his stomach, and they seem to go after a few minutes.

I agree with nori, I find letting him cry for a min or so works also if lying on his stomach doesn't :d

Hannah gets them all the time, she had them for at least an hour a day while in the womb. Don't think there's much you can do for them, although feeding takes her mind off them. Hannah never seems bothered by it and can fall asleep while hiccuping

Unless your little one is distressed by it then I's just leave them to go naturally.

Jessica has hiccups a lot and did before she was born. I've never considered doing anything about them - hiccups are perfectly normal. If she is hungry I'll feed her which does seem to stop them but she suffers so badly with wind I prefer to just stick her over my shoulder until they finish.
