Hiccups!
in Baby
Hi ladies,
My little man always had hiccups when I was pregnant with him, and we are finding that he had them again after almost every feed. He brings up his wind with no problem at all after the 1st half of his bottle, but after the second half it's much mopre difficult and then he ends up getting hiccups. We find that he starts to get sleepy after the first half of his bottle so usually change his nappy to wake him again so that's he's awake for the rest of his bottle but like I say bringing up his wind is much more difficult. Has anyone else's LO's been like this and if so what did you do? Or does anyone have any ideas on how else I can prevent them?
Thanks

Especially around a feed as they can't control the air that they intake very well and it causes hiccups.
Often it concerns us more than them...
Regards to feeding, I'd persevere with the second half the bottle... changing a nappy half way through and really chatting to him, maintaining eye contact.
When getting wind up, I'd try a different position to the first one you tried. Maybe laying him on his front on your knees, and rubbing his back... or making bicycle motion with his legs, rubbing circles on his tum?
Good luck xx
When she was small she used to really gulp her milk fast and we ended up using an anti colic insert in the bottle (Tommee Tippee) to slow it down. She didnt handle hiccups well when she was tiny but is now used to them and happily sits there hiccuping lol. x
Sure enough at nearly six months she rarely gets them now.
Congrats by the way! xx
