Hickups - please help

mY BABY ALSO HAD HICCUPS AS A NEW BORN BUT HAS OUT GROWN IT

My SIL read in the Baby Sense book that it can also be a sign of over-stimulation. She then found that when he baby started hiccupping if she picked him up and put a blanket lightly over his head (like to make it dark and cut out visual stimulation) and walked up and down the passage a few times the hiccuppiing usually stopped almost immediatley and very often baby went to sleep.

LOL Claudia.

My mom did the same thing with the paper on the forehead, I always joke with Tay and say i`m shipping you off to your Paternal family in the Free state.

Also with the tip of your pinky dipped in bit of sugar straight in her mouth, it stops after a few seconds....

Jensen started hicuping when I was about 7-8 months pregnant, he is now 13 months old and still gets hicups almost every day.

I find that the best thing to get them to go away is to give him a bottle with either juice or milk in it - the sucking and drinking seems to take it away.

Haha Claudia my domestic did that with my baby when she was newborn. She stopped hiccupping about 5 mins later but I think it's just a coincidence. She also told me that when it's windy my baby will get winds.

An old wives tale (well the Zulu nurses do it) is to lick a piece of paper and stick it on your babys forhead between the eyes. It seems to work with my little one, so I dont know if thats just an acupressure point, but I guess theres no harm in you trying:)

Wilma the Telement Gripewater (yellow label bottle) does not have alcohol in it if that is what worries you.
