Hickups - please help

Hi Kirsten, Dewald was born on the 19th. I only managed to connect again to Moomie yesterday. He is such a good baby at this stage. Gripewater does help but I'm scared that to give him too much.
I sometimes feel so stupid, you would never say I have 2 other children.

My baby also had them while I was still pregnant. Hiccupped all the time as a newborn. She seldom gets them anymore. We would just wait them out. Never bothered her at all. I have heard that gripe water helps. Don't know if it's true. I never bothered trying. Wilma congrats! When was your baby born? Did I miss the announcement?

As mentioned it is perfectly normal and really does not hurt them, even tho they sound painful.

A drop of water or formula would clear it up for us

Hiccuping is pretty natural for this age. By around 3 months they outgrow it (mostly).

Nothing you can really do, but sometimes sucking a dummy helps, or drinking.

I find holding baby upright and just rubbing her back seems to make her feel better anyway if the hiccups are bothersome.

Liam also gets hiccups at least once a day. I give him some milk and that stops it. If he doesn't want any milk then you just have to wait for it to stop on its own.

Both my girls started hiccuping while they were still in my tummy. Once they were born they would start hiccuping after almost every feed. It gets better after a few months. At 5 1/2 months, Ashlee very rarely get hiccups.

I think it bothers the mommies much more than it bothers our babies.

Hi wilma!

Hiccups are apparently normal 4 babies. My lg is 5weeks nd still gets them @ least 3 times a day especially when she's drowsy or tired. I unfortunately cant recommend anything just have to wait them out!
