How do you get rid of baby hiccups?

Question

How?

Answer 1

A drink might help, but it might not. They don't actually bother the baby, just you.

Answer 2

hello! I have 3 children..... my last 2 are only 13 months apart from each other and the weird part is that my 18 month old son always get hiccups at night and then I know he is ready to go to sleep.... my 5 month old daughter, on the other hand gets the hiccups all the time.... I found that a small bottle with luke warm water with a tiny dot of sugar (this will not hurt the baby!) works wonders...... if the baby get hiccups along with gas, try luke warm water with gripe water, you can find this in most pharmacies and or health food stores for fairly cheap. I think a 12oz bottle will run approximatley $10.00 and last a very long time since you use such a little amount each time... hope this helps and good luck!

Answer 3

First of all, my daughter's pediatrician has told me time and again that the hiccups don't bother or hurt the babies. (my daughter has hiccups all the time, and has since she was in the womb). But the best solution I have found is to give her something to drink. Whether it is breast milk, a small bottle, or a sippy cup of water or juice, the swallowing motion helps the diaphragm to "calm down", and the hiccups will usually subside. Good luck!!

Answer 4

You dont, they have hiccups because they need to have them at this age. When babies are small they get the hiccups as their digestive systems are under developed and sensitive.

They out grow them. Just make sure baby is burped during and after a feeding. Thats all.

Answer 5

My 2 month old daughter has hiccups a lot and when she goes to sleep even for a minute, they go away.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Approximately 1/4 teaspoon of granulated sugar on a spoon worked for my babies. Put the spoon it in their mouth and let them gum it off. Or dunk a wet bottle nipple or pacifier in sugar and let then suck it off. I don't know why it works. (I was told the granules do it but that doesn't make sense!)

Answer 8

I usually don't do anything, just wait for them to pass, sometimes I nurse.

Omg, the sugar idea... that's just wrong.

Answer 9

If my baby has them and seems irritated by them I offer him the breast works every time! he's 4 m/o now and rarely gets them now! DO NOT GIVE SUGAR! DUH!
