Hiccups

Some babies are not just born hiccupers, they sre hiccupers before they are even born. And if your little bundle of joy hiccuped a lot inside of you, most likely he will hiccup plenty in the firs few months on the outside, too. Newborn’s hiccups, unlike the adult ones, don’t have a known cause, but there are some theories around. One is that they are one of the babies reflexes, though they are frequently triggered by giggling later on. Another theory is that infants get hiccups when they gulp down for formula or breast milk and fill their tummies with air. Unlike adult hiccups, they don’t bother the baby. But if they bother you, try letting your little one nurse or ( if you are bottle feeding ) suck on a bottle, which may quell the attack.
