Very normal. Hiccups are actually the diaphagm going into spasm. Usually temporary and normal. Comes and goes in phases. Enjoy her and don't worry

Are u a new parent? Yes they are normal for young children. They get hiccups alot till they are 1 or 2 years old just let her drink some water or some thing or look on google to get an answer.

Very normal. My baby has them all the time and I was quite worried, so I asked her doc and the doc said to just ignore them...."the baby will outgrow them as her body adjusts to her new world."
I read somewhere that if a baby had hiccups a lot while in the womb, they will continue to have hiccups a lot once born. Not sure that this is true, but I do remember my baby having the hiccups quite a bit while in my womb!

i hear ya my 3 month old son has them all the time also-even while he was in the womb..he burps good as well and winds up getting the hiccups and then spits up..he has started to laugh and when he laughs to much he gets the hiccups..right now i think it is a losing battle..we have tried everything and nothing seems to help..all the books say it is normal and that it is more aggravating for the parent than it is the child. good luck...hopefully they go away for the both of us!!

I noticed that's when my baby always got the hiccups was after a really good burp after eating. It's normal and healthy, and the hiccups will go away on their own.

Yes it is normal. My 10 month old daughter used to get the hiccups all the time when I was pregnant with her and she did all the time till she was like 4-5 months old.And my poor girl is used to jerk her whole body.

Ha ha, means she is growing - just what our grandma used to say!
Completely normal to have hiccups, my little girl used to get hiccups all the time too when little. In fact, she got them quite frequently while she was still in my tummy and they were sure something to feel!

Completely normal. My little boy gets them all the time. Just try offering her a drink of breastmilk/formula, and they'll usually go away. There's an old wives' tale that says if they get the hiccups they're healthy.
