help with Hiccups after feeding ??

[kalou1972]

Our baby boy is just over a week old.

Hes feeding like a trooper but keeps getting hiccups afterwards!!

Any ideas how to prevent this??

Am i doing something wrong??

Hi, congratulations
With hiccups there is nothing you can really do to prevent them but my LO tends to only get them if she hasn't burped after a feed.
Midwives always say they bother us more than the LO. They even tire them out a bit so they fall asleep eventually

The only way to stop them is to put LO back on the boob to suck for a few mins, then they disappear.

Gripe water worked to get rid of hiccups for us.

Hi we had a lot of hiccups at first, still get them but they do seem to be less often now. And they certainly don't bother her - she can feed through them!
