Re: How to get rid of hiccups !!

  • My son's hiccups usually go away when he eats. I think it's because he he's concentrating on something else. If he's not hungry we just wait until they pass

    My son gets them a lot too.
    He also had them a lot in the womb.
  • They are normal I've heard, even in utero, not harmful to baby, and I recently read a sign of a full stomach. My LO got them all the time when I was pregnant & still gets them. I am not sure how to make them go away

    This is my LO exactly. He would often have them multiple times a day in utero. It doesn't seem distressing to him at all
  • I have noticed that gripe water gets rid of my sons hiccups immediately! It's amazing.
  • My son gets them a lot too.
    He also had them a lot in the womb.

    My DD is the same way. She had hiccups all the time in the womb and it's no different now! She also eats really fast and tends to get them after burping. We've tried different bottles, taking breaks during feeding and burping a couple of times during feeding, but so far nothing has worked.
  • My pediatrician said they are completely normal because the diaphragm hasn't fully developed. My LO even eats when he has them.
  • Gripe water has worked for me.
  • I just let him eat a little. My guy gets then shortly after feeding so I just let him nurse for a couple seconds and it goes right away so he can get to sleep.
  • LO got them multiple times a day in utero and still gets them like 3 times a day. It's more annoying than anything.
