What should I do if my child keeps hiccuping?

After the baby is born, the mother is very concerned about everything about him, especially his physical condition. Once there is any abnormality, the mother will be extremely anxious. For example, sometimes the baby will have hiccups, and the mother will be very anxious to help the baby relieve the hiccups. In fact, there are many ways to solve this problem. So what should I do if my child keeps hiccuping?

1. Gently pat the baby's back and feed him some warm water - If the baby's hiccups are caused by cold, the mother should first pick up the baby, pat his little back gently, then feed him some warm water, cover his chest or belly with warm clothes and blankets, etc.

2. You can gently stimulate the soles of the baby's feet - if the baby's hiccups are caused by drinking too much milk or too quickly or the milk is cold, the mother can stimulate the baby's soles to encourage the baby to cry. This can suddenly stop the baby's diaphragm contraction and stop the hiccups.

3. Wash your hands and put the tip of your index finger near the baby's mouth. The mother can also pick up the baby who keeps hiccuping and put the tip of her index finger near the baby's mouth. After the baby starts crying, the hiccups will naturally disappear. Because the nerves around the mouth are more sensitive, tickling can relax the nerves around the baby's mouth and the hiccups will disappear.

4. Gently scratch the baby's ears with your hands - when the baby keeps hiccuping, gently tickle the baby's ears and talk to the baby, which can also help stop the hiccups.

5. You can divert the baby's attention - Mommy can also try playing music for the baby, or teasing the baby when she hiccups, so as to divert the baby's attention and stop the hiccups.

Note:

Moms should be especially careful not to feed their babies when they are too hungry or crying loudly.
