Hiccups

XKatX · Nov 22nd, 2008, 09:27 AM

Does anyone elses baby suffer from hiccups? Mine gets them after most feeds (I am BF). I have tried Infacol, Dentenox, winding him, leaving him, in fact everything I can think of! It doesn't distress him as such - he just looks hacked off that he has them, again!!!
Any ideas?

Renah hiccups after EVERY feed for almost a half hour. She has to be picked up when she's hiccuping too or else she'll scream blue murder. She hiccuped a lot before she was born too. I read that hiccups don't affect babies like they affect us. No advice, I'll be watching this thread hah

Hebe hiccuped 3 times a day for the last 2 wks of pregnancy and I was worried so I asked the mw. She said she'll probably be a hiccupy baby......and boy is she ever!! No tips - they dont bother her at all fortunately

Oliver hiccuped his way through my last weeks of pregnancy too! At least I know it's not my booby milk thats causing it!!!

Just from experience, sometimes the hiccups are caused from a burp that doesn't get brought up.

I've actually stuck her back on sometimes when she's had them a while.

Jasmine usually gets them in the evening at least once... I found just leaving her in her bouncy chair with the vibration on gets rid of them in 10 mins or so...

Erin had them loads during my pregnancy and for the first couple of months she was always hiccupping after every feed. They didn't bother her too much. She is now 4 months and still gets them but not as often. Usually gets them if she is hungry or after some feeds. I think its her way of winding even though she does big burps. Sometimes if I have a drop of milk left in the bottle I offer it to her - if she drinks it it seems to get rid of them but often she won't take anymore feed so she has the hiccups for about 20 minutes. I asked the hv but she said its fine, doesn't hurt them. Some babies are just very hiccuppy.

Ollie gets them too! And he hiccuped while inside me. Don't think there is really anything you can do unfortunately. Faith was exactly the same x

Well you've already mentioned it but Dentinox stops Fin's every time. I was sceptical but it's brilliant for stopping his. Before that it was just perseverence or giving him a bit more formula / water. xx
