What should I pay attention to when my newborn baby hiccups continuously?

When a newborn baby hiccups continuously after birth, mothers are very anxious and worried that the hiccups will affect the baby's breathing. In fact, these are caused by the air inhaled by the baby when crying or feeding.

What should we do if our child's body is not fully developed?

If a newborn baby hiccups continuously, the mother should first pay attention to the feeding method and avoid feeding the baby when the baby is crying or depressed.

Secondly, avoid feeding your baby too fast. When breastfeeding, if there is plenty of breast milk, you should press the nipple while breastfeeding to prevent the milk from flowing out too quickly; when bottle-feeding, you should be careful not to make the nipple hole too large, and fill the nipple with milk first to avoid inhaling air.

Again, pay attention to the temperature of the food and do not let it be too cold. Finally, be careful how you take care of your baby and don't let him inhale cold air. When the baby hiccups, the mother should not be anxious. Here are some tips to help stop your baby's hiccups:

1. Pick up the baby, pat his back, feed him some hot water, and cover his chest and abdomen with warm clothes and blankets.

2. You can use toys to amuse your baby or play some soft music to divert his attention.

3. Stimulate the soles of the baby's feet and make him cry, which can stop the sudden contraction of the diaphragm. Generally, the hiccups will disappear naturally once the baby starts crying.

4. Use your fingertips to gently tickle the baby's lips or ears. The nerves near the lips and ears are more sensitive. Tickling can relax them and the hiccups will disappear.

In the above article, we learned that newborns hiccup continuously. In fact, for this phenomenon, you can choose to induce the child, play some soft music, use toys to amuse the baby, so as to divert the child's attention and pat the child gently.
