What should I do if my three-month-old baby hiccups?

For mothers, nothing is more important than the healthy growth of their babies. However, babies are prone to various problems when they are young. For example, mothers often encounter such a situation: a three-month-old baby always hiccups. Watching the baby hiccuping uncontrollably, mothers feel more uncomfortable than the baby. So what should you do if your baby always hiccups?

1. The baby's hiccups are caused by the sudden and forceful contraction of the diaphragm. It is a very common situation and the hiccups will usually stop after a short time. It is harmless to the baby and will naturally ease as the baby grows up. However, if the baby's hiccups last too long or occur too frequently, it will make the "caregiver" feel a little uncomfortable.

2. 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.

If your baby hiccups because of cow's milk protein allergy, you can use special formula milk according to the doctor's instructions.

3. Normally, feed your baby in a quiet state and environment. Never feed your baby when he is too hungry or crying loudly. The feeding posture should be correct, and avoid eating too hastily, too quickly, too cold, or too hot.

4. 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.

Let your baby take a break in the middle of feeding, let your baby stand upright on your legs, gently pat his back to pass gas, and burp after he is full to avoid continuous hiccups.

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

These are the ways to deal with baby hiccups. I think all mothers know that it is best to hold the baby upright and gently pat the baby's back after the baby finishes drinking milk. This will help prevent the baby from hiccups. Although this is a simple method, it is a very effective method. If your baby often hiccups, you might as well give it a try.
