The doctor told me healthy babies have hiccups. My little girl gets them all the time and I can feel them several times a day sometimes. :) it means they are learning to use their airway functions and it's a good sign!

I have read that it is because the baby is practicing breathing. So kind of when we swallow to much air it causes us to get hiccups, same concept. :)
