Why does the baby hiccup?

Although hiccups are not a disease, it will be very uncomfortable if you hiccup a lot. What's more, the baby is so young that he will definitely feel uncomfortable if he hiccups. Moreover, the baby cannot express the symptoms by himself and cannot tell the parents where he is uncomfortable. Therefore, if the baby has hiccups, parents must pay attention to observe. If the hiccups are relatively few, just one or two, it is no big deal, it may be that the baby has eaten too much. If the baby has hiccups continuously, you need to take the baby to see a doctor.

If the baby is uncomfortable after eating or has a bad stomach, he will hiccup. If the baby has hiccups, parents should try to feed the baby some easily digestible food and try not to add new complementary foods. There are also some small ways to improve the symptoms of baby hiccups. The following will introduce some relevant content about why the baby hiccups.

Methods/Steps

1. Use your fingers to tap the soles of the baby's feet, let the baby cry out (don't feel bad, mom), stop the sudden contraction of the diaphragm, and the hiccups will disappear naturally.

2. Pick up the baby and feed him some hot water to improve the baby's hiccups.

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

4. When your baby hiccups, you can use toys or soft music to divert and attract the baby's attention, so that the baby can "forget" the hiccups.

Prevention should be the main approach to hiccups in newborn babies: breastfeeding should be done in a quiet state and environment; the baby should have the correct posture and position when breastfeeding: when breastfeeding, the baby should hold most of the mother's areola in his mouth to avoid inhaling too much air. For babies who are bottle-fed, the bottle should be tilted at a 45-degree angle and the nipple should be filled with milk. This will allow the bubbles to flow to the bottom of the bottle and prevent the baby from ingesting the bubbles and burping. Also avoid eating hastily, quickly, cold or hot food. After feeding, the mother can hold the baby upright against her chest, with the head resting on her shoulder, and pat the baby's back to help the baby expel the air in the stomach and prevent hiccups.
