hey! So my 2 week old has hiccups non stop! He started getting them when we were in the hospital and the dr said it was normal. He gets them several times a day for long periods of time..... Is it normal for them to still be happening this often? TIA

Re: Out of control hiccups!

  • My baby gets them for about 10-15 minutes after every single feed! I think it's normal.

  • My baby gets them often too. My ped says normal and that skin to skin can help.

    My lo gets them regularly during the day to. If patting her back doesnt clear them then I find a quick feed does.
  • LO gets them 3-4 times a day. After he's fed and happy and we finally get down for a nap. Then they start up and last a good 20 mins.

    Baby Will born 8/18. He's perfect.
  • We use gripe water to get rid of them.

  • Mine gets them after every burp....they almost sound painful but he never cries when he's got them. Either a "drink" (quick nurse) or dipping his pacifier in gripe helps every time :)

  • I've also found a quick feeding helps.
  • Mine gets them after almost every feeding as well.
  • Mine got them every day for about 20 minutes starting at 30 weeks pregnancy. He still now gets them every other day or so for a good 20-25 minutes. They look so jarring and hard on his body, but ironically, this is when he is most calm and not fussy. Dr says it's perfectly normal.

    Is it strange that I look forward to his hiccups so that I can sneak in a quick nap when he is so calm? ;-)
  • Yes LO is 2 weeks as well and always has them (always did the womb too). Doc said sucking on finger or pacifier can help and often does.
  • My LO gets them on the daily too. I feel bad but she doesn't seem fazed by them. I wonder what causes them?
  • If they just won't end, Tummy Calm works wonders. It's for gas relief but also stops hiccups.

  • My lo gets them often and she just hates them! Towards the end of my pregnancy, I'd feel her thrash around whenever she hiccupped. Now that she's out in the world, she gets very fussy when they strike. They really frustrate her! Makes me sad to watch her struggle with them :(
