hiccups??

My son gets the hiccups slot, I feel do bad for him, like if it hurts him or something. Is there any reason or saying as to why babies get them? Any old sayings on how to get rid of them? He's only a week.

Hi well this is what my family do wheb any of the babies got a hiccups an it worked. Get a small piece of thrad wet it an than place it between the babys eye browz. I think the feelong of something wet distracts them an my niece an nephew always use to stop the hiccups. Try it if you want. An let me know what happenes

My son used to get them all the time. He could even fall asleep with them. So it must not hurt?! ;)

My daughter got them every hour it seemed!! It doesn't hurt, more annoying probably but what my pediatrician told me was she was eating too fast. He said if I'm using a bottle, try a smaller nipple size or a break in feeding to burp halfway through etc. Idk if it made much of a difference but its worth a try if it bothers you.
Good luck!

My daughter gets them about 5-8 times per day and idk why, she gets its when I change her diaper, I think because she's cold, but other times she gets them randomly, she's going to be 6 weeks old and even got them everyday while in the womb
