What should I do if my newborn baby hiccups? This works great!

Many babies will burp and spit up milk, and many mothers find it very difficult to deal with such situations. In order to solve this problem, on the one hand, you need to master the correct way to feed the baby, and on the other hand, you can try the following methods.

1. If the hiccups and milk regurgitation are caused by "gastroesophageal reflux", you can let the baby stand upright on an adult's shoulder to pass gas after feeding, and do not let the baby lie flat within half an hour. After 4 months old, you can add rice flour or wheat flour to increase the viscosity of the milk to prevent hiccups.

2. If your baby hiccups because of an allergy to milk protein, you can use special formula milk as directed by your doctor.

3. Feed your baby in a quiet state and environment. Never feed your baby when he is extremely hungry or crying loudly.

4. The feeding posture should be correct, and avoid feeding too hastily, too quickly, too cold, or too hot.

5. When your baby hiccups, you can use toys or soft music to divert and attract the baby's attention to reduce the frequency of hiccups.

6. Let your baby take a break while drinking milk. Let your baby stand upright on your legs and gently pat his back to pass gas. Burping can help avoid continuous hiccups.

Four ways to stop your baby from hiccuping

1. If the baby has abdominal bloating after feeding, he will burp when laid down flat. This is because the opening of the bottle is small, and when the baby is sucking milk, he swallows too much air due to sucking hard, causing bloating. Therefore, parents can hold the baby for a while longer after drinking milk, gently pat the baby's back, or gently massage the baby's abdomen to help expel gas, which can prevent the baby from burping and regurgitating milk.

2. Try feeding small meals frequently, or pick up your baby and pat his back after feeding to help expel gas.

3. Feeding the baby some warm water or diverting the baby's attention with interesting activities can also improve the baby's hiccups symptoms.

4. However, if your baby hiccups frequently and also has a poor appetite, weight loss or frequent vomiting, you should take your baby to the hospital for a detailed examination.
