Hiccups

[Lolie14]

My little one gets hiccups a lot and they last ages. Is this normal? Anything I can do to ease them? She is a week old.

Hi hun. Luca gets them all the time. I mentioned it to the mw and she said its normal. He used to get them all the time in my tummy too. They seem to bother him though, bless him xx

Alfie used to get them a lot and he would get so upset with them that when he was crying they'd suddenly disappear! I asked my MW and she said it's completely normal

Reem gets them almost after every feed after she burps. So annoying esp at night as she won't fall asleep until they stop bless her. I've read sitting them up & rubbing their backs help but not sure if it does work or not.

Lollie I've just asked my health visitor about them because Cole is plagued with them and she says sometimes it can be an indication of relic if they don't settle when lying down but Cole was lying sleeping so she says it's just something some babies get lol xx

Thanks ladies. I did mention it to the midwife and she reassured me that it's just wind and she is fine.

They get better as they get older. My LO is nearly 10 weeks and barely gets them anymore. She used to get them after every feed for first few weeks. Isn't much fun but shouldn't last too long!
