Yes, only if she is taken in too much air, You might want to switch bottles.
Check for the babies mouth grip around the nipple of the bottle...is she breathing correctly...some babies will stop and breath through the mouth, rememeber most infacts can't do that...only know how to use the nose. ( so maybe she's just a little clumsy right now)
Hold her more upright as well...that kinda helps with too much air passing down the airways.
Rub her back in one direction after a feeding that can release some air bubbles...and decrease the pressure on her little diaphram.

My two month old did that for a while. And the causes weren't in any of the answers so far....so here goes our case. He would only get them after the feeding and burping. Every time I would burp him, he would get the hiccups for a couple weeks, now they are less frequent.

I have never seen this, and I have dealt with many babys. You should burp her after every feeding. If this does not work, try burping her twice. Also, give her 1/2 of her bottle, burp her and then give her the other 1/2 and burp again. She is probably drinking it too fast.

Hiccups don't cause the same discomfort in a newborn that they do in an adult....babies don't usually notice them.
Just make sure that you're taking your time when you feed her, and be sure to burp her at least 2 times per feeding.

Try a couple sips of water after feeding her. Sometimes this is caused by the uvula (that thing that hangs down in your throat) being pushed up and sticking to the top of her throat. The water will usually make it drop back down.

You need to slow the feeding down. Even if you are breastfeeding, take the baby off for a short while to burp her or even just rub her back. The hic cups will stop.

Very normal, don't worry. Mine did it all the time too. Their little systems are just figuring things out. Don't try to stop the hiccups, they don't bother the child and often the "remedies" are more uncomfortable than the hiccups.

I do not know how this is possible. What are you feeding her? Perhaps you should ask your pediatrician. If her enzymes do not tolerate certain amounts of foods or how the food was processed it could be that the gases built up in her digestive system. Just ask a pediatric. Will you

Yes, this is very normal. When my babies were this age, I would just give them a bit of water in a bottle to help alleviate the hiccups.
