Preemies

My baby has incredible, long lasting hiccups.

I'm starting to think that my breasts are actually pina colada dispensers- she gets the hiccups a lot- her whole little body shakes with them!

I'm not sure if there's anything that can help her...

Re: My baby has incredible, long lasting hiccups.

  • have you tried gripe water? we found that if we administered it very slowly, that helped about 60% of the time.

    good luck!!

  • yes! gripe water gripe water gripe water!

    I wish we could buy it buy the gallon.

  • My LO gets hiccups all the time!  I will have to try the pp's suggestions.  Thanks for posting!
  • we have that problem :( usually we try to get him to take a few sucks from the bottle and most of the time that helps!  It's so annoying!
  • Us too, they are getting better, but I ditto the swallowing something (bottle or breast) most of the time helps.  Haven't tried gripe water, but heard good things about it.
  • I agree with the gripe water suggestion.  DS get hiccups that can last for hours.  He even gets them in his sleep sometimes.  Unfortunately, whatever is in his tummy comes up with the hiccups.  So, we do gripe water as soon as the hiccups start and they are always gone within minutes.  GL!

  • I think I 5th gripe water.  We used it alot when they were little.. not so much now, but it works wonders about 80% of the time for us.  Hiccups are gone within seconds.

  • Gripe water has worked 100% of the time for carter...and immediately..no waiting.

    ps we originally bought it for gas...and it did nothing!

  • I can't believe I haven't tried gripe water!  I want to just because of the hype :-)

    We don't even really need it now because of the Simply Thick. haha.

  • My girls are still in the NICU but the nurse said that hiccups in preemies is a sign of stress.
