Hiccups in babies after breastfeeding are usually caused by babies swallowing large amounts of air. Improper feeding methods, babies eating too much milk too quickly, the mother’s nipples being sunken in, or sucking empty bottles or nipples not being filled with milk can cause babies to swallow a lot of air, which can cause hiccups. Hiccups are very common and generally have no adverse effects on the baby’s health, so parents need not worry too much. When a baby has hiccups, parents can take the following measures to control them (1) Pick the baby up and pat his back gently: feed him a few sips of warm water or take a few sips of milk, and then use a blanket or thick clothes to help keep him warm. (2) Pick the baby up and stimulate the soles of the feet: Make him cry to end the sudden contraction of the diaphragm. Or use the tip of the index finger of one hand to gently tickle the baby around the mouth or ears, usually until the baby cries and the hiccups disappear naturally. Because the nerves around the baby’s ears and mouth are sensitive, tickling can relax the nerves, and the hiccups will disappear. (3) Divert the baby’s attention: You can play soft music. (4) If the hiccups are caused by the baby eating too much milk, massage the baby’s chest and abdomen gently to make the hiccups go down and the hiccups will stop naturally. (5) Use your index finger to push the baby’s back hairline below the back of the occiput to the seventh cervical vertebrae projection: 10 to 20 pushes will immediately stop the hiccups. If the hiccups are not relieved after taking the above measures and the baby continues to hiccup, you need to go to the hospital and ask a professional pediatrician to check and control the hiccups of your baby with some medications.
