Baby gets hiccups a lot!!

Does anyone's baby get hiccups a lot? My baby gets them at least twice a day I just wondered if this meant she may have reflux when she's born.

A few times, I think. I don't know about the reflux for sure but my sister in law's baby has been really colicy and she had the hiccups just about every day the whole last trimester.

Our daughter had hiccups multiple times a day for the entire time I could feel her.  She never once dealt with reflux nor colic.

Not related.  DD had them constantly when I was pregnant with her, and never had any reflux issues.  Baby is just learning to swallow and breathe, the hiccups will work themselves out!

This. My OB said hiccups are a sign of a healthy baby because they are practicing their breathing.

Not related.  Exactly what pp said - they are practice breathing.

My firstborn had hiccups all the time. She had them a lot when she was born, too, but no other issues. She spit up a lot, but that turned out to be because of overactive letdown, so me, not her.

This LO has them just as frequently. I think it has more to do with how much they move. My second didn't have them and she didn't do the big movements as frequently, she was more of a wiggler.

DS had them all. the. time.  At first I was like "awww, that's so cool!"...a few weeks later I couldn't stand it anymore!!!  He would stop for a little bit and then start right up again.  He didn't have reflux issues but he was a big hiccup-er for the first few months as well.

I am in this category.  My little man gets them at least twice a day.  Today he has had them 3 different times.

Just realized with this pregnancy I have not felt hiccups at all. With my last pregnancy it was everyday... And when he was born, he still had them often... he didn't have reflux, but did spit up often from an over active let down.

This is my DD as well.  She did spit up quite a but I do not think the 2 were related.  To this day, she still gets hiccups often, especially if she laughs too hard.  It is pretty cute!

hiccups are normal in the third trimester .... even my baby gets them a lot ... it's absolutely natural :
