Hiccups
Hi girls
I am hoping someone can give some suggestions or advice. Bronwyn seems to get hiccups a lot, sometimes they go away quickly but generally they seem to last for ages and make her whole body shake!! Is there anyway of preventing them or getting rid of them? I get hiccups a lot and was actually born with them, so I am wondering ifit could be genetic????
Bronwyn has just watched her first Merseyside derby, Liverpool won so we are both happy!!!!!!

I think it's very normal for babies as young as Bronwyn to get hiccups regularly. Gillans telling me that a hiccups a muscle spasm and has nothing to do with wind or feeding so old wives tales treating feeding problems or wind are useless.
As far as i know there's nothing much you can do but a health visitor once told me that the babies not bothered by them anyway.

Take care xx
I am on a bit of a mission today, completely unitentionally, a spider busting mission!!! I have found some huge house spiders today. They are now garden spiders as I have evicted them!!!! Gareth would have killed them.
like the others have said, hiccups dont tend to bother babies and wont harm them.
When I was expecting Niamh, everytme I had a cup of tea, she got hiccups, and Tara had hiccups when I was in labour with her, I didnt notice because I was having contractions, but when they put the monitor on me, you could hear them and the monitor jumped every time. That had us and the midwife giggling.
Both had hiccups quite often, Tara still does, but they dont bother her.
Take care

Yes, she is bottle fed. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control she can't breast feed. Which still upsets me, but hey ho.
Her top says "my first Liverpool kit! We were watching the footy yesterday.
