Babies need to be burped immediately after drinking milk. Babies are more prone to hiccups as the phrenic nerve is not fully developed. Coupled with improper feeding, inhaling a lot of gas when crying, and poor gastric motility, hiccups are very common. Continuous hiccups will not only cause discomfort and affect the child’s rest, but also aggravate milk spillage and sometimes trigger choking. So babies need to be burped immediately after drinking milk. Hiccups can be placed on the shoulders of parents put a small square towel, the child’s head to the side placed on the shoulder, a hand to support the child’s buttocks, the other hand from top to bottom pat the child’s back. The hand needs to be arched so as not to hurt the child. If your child hiccups too often, you need to see a doctor to check the cause and treat it scientifically under the doctor’s supervision.
