What to do if your child has hiccups

Hiccups in children are very common in infancy and there are many reasons for them. It is important to observe the hiccups and look for the cause, and parents can not worry too much. Breastfeeding is important to press the nipple when breastfeeding to avoid the baby inhaling too quickly, which can lead to indigestion. If you are artificially fed, you should pay attention to the size of the pacifier hole to avoid inhaling air, and pay attention to the temperature of the milk powder, which should not be too cold. If you smell lactic acid when you burp, consider that it is caused by indigestion and food accumulation. Eating in moderation can cause continuous hiccups if a child eats too much, resulting in poor digestion. You can massage your baby gently around the navel, clockwise, to effectively promote digestion, and the hiccups can basically disappear after the baby’s bowels are clear. You can use a warm water bag or a baby warmer to keep your baby warm, but be careful not to burn your baby. You can go outdoors more often to improve your child’s resistance and increase immunity. If your baby has hiccups, you can divert your baby’s attention, such as using a favorite toy or playing soft music, which can also reduce the frequency of hiccups.
