Hiccups in babies

Just like you, your baby may have hiccups. Find out how they work in infants.

  • Hiccups are caused by a repetitive, involuntary contraction of the diaphragm when the stomach is full of air or liquid.
  • Your baby can have hiccups from the time they are born, or even when they are still in your belly.
  • Don't worry, this natural phenomenon is completely painless and goes away on its own.
  • If the hiccups last longer than 15 minutes, you can hold your baby upward, and give them a drink.

Sometimes my newborn makes this hiccup noise when he breaths. A hiccup is the best way I can describe it. He doesn’t do it all of the time. I’m going to ask the doctor about it, but wondering if any of you ladies ever experience this sound. #worriedmomma #motherhood

Thank you! Yes they seem to get most active when they get hiccups! I can imagine them already getting upset after we have them! My son hated hiccups too, i would try to keep his mind off it by making sounds and funny faces! 😂

So cute!! I wasn’t sure what hiccups felt like until about 2-3wks ago. I know he would get really active and kick everywhere lol but then I seen a video describing what it felt like and it was def hiccups I was feeling bc it was “rhythmic-like”. They say babies get them in the womb approximately for a total of 15mins/day. Obviously not at once lol poor babies that would be terrible 😢 lol

It looks like it. I feel the hiccups at least twice a day. It normally only lasts for a few minutes but it's the cutest thing ever. He actually had them during an appointment I had and my nurse pointed them out lol.
