What should I do about infant hiccups?

Answer by  nursepractitionerlisa (793)

Make sure your baby has a good latch. Make sure you are not eating any gas-producing foods. Make sure the baby is not sucking too much air, such as with a poor latch. Make sure the baby is burped between sides. try feeding the baby in a different position and with the head elevated.

If you are using bottles than I would suggest changing the nipple. If the baby is sucking to hard he or she could develop hiccups. Try burping the baby as soom as he or she starts hiccuping instead of waiting until the end of the feeding. I would also consult your pediatrician for advice because hiccups can disrupt proper digestion.
