The best way for a baby to get rid of the hiccups is to get them to relax or go to sleep. The sooner the muscles relax, the sooner the hiccups go away. All three of my kids got hiccups after every bottle they had until they were about 8 or 9 months old. I never saw my kids with the hiccups while they were sleeping or relaxing. As long as there are no other complications with the hiccups, it just might be a fact of life for awhile.

My cousin's baby has hiccups every time I see her it seems. She just let's the baby nurse for a minute or two and they usually go away. My daughter had them at least 2 a day for the longest time (hiccuped through the entire pregnancy it seemed too) and we just have her a bottle of water. The sucking seems to help them get over them. Hope this helps your baby too.

Usually, having hiccups are because that you have something choking in your gullet( you might have experienced that too).
I am just giving a little advice, it might not be correct but let her drink something and pat her on the back gently..
By the way, babies having hiccups are really really normal. You don't need to worry a bit!

its really common for baby's to hiccup, if they are really bothering baby I would talk to your GP. Try getting the hiccups on video to show the doctor (because guaranteed they will stop the minute you walk into the office) that way you can show the doctor exactly what you are talking about.

No, they will eventually go away on their own. My son had the hiccups prob 5 times a day in my belly, and 3 times a day after he was born at least! They gradually went away. He will get them occassionally now, but there is no need to worry- your baby will be fine.... they are quite frustrating-as you know to have, so that's prob why they make her mad, but don't worry. She will be fine!

Blow up a big balloon and just run around in front of the baby popping the balloon and scare the **** outa the baby thus curing the hiccups.

my pediatrician told me hiccups don't bother a baby at all. they even feel different - something about how the baby's lungs/body are different from an adult's.
a pacifier seems to help sometimes - also rocking. but it's probably more worrying to you than it is to her.
my baby used to hiccup in mommy's womb. too cute!

Not appropriate for a baby, but believe it or not Thorazine is a treatment for a bad case of hiccups.

they'll go away eventually. My daughter used to hiccup a lot while she was still in the womb, and she did as well after she was born. No biggie.

When my son gets them, I just offer him a drink of formula. He gets them so much, he knows why I'm giving him the bottle, so he doesn't care to take a little sip to get them to go away.
