Although newborn hiccups are not generally a worrying condition, most young parents are concerned about their newborn\u2019s hiccups and try to find a way to stop them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/how-to-stop-baby-hiccups.jpg\" alt=\"how to stop baby hiccups\" class=\"wp-image-27951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/how-to-stop-baby-hiccups.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/how-to-stop-baby-hiccups-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/how-to-stop-baby-hiccups-370x200.jpg 370w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/how-to-stop-baby-hiccups-320x173.jpg 320w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/how-to-stop-baby-hiccups-360x195.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/how-to-stop-baby-hiccups-414x224.jpg 414w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/how-to-stop-baby-hiccups-420x227.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-stop-baby-hiccups\"><strong>How to stop baby hiccups<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you know the cause of your newborn\u2019s hiccups, you can take appropriate actions to stop them. Here I explain four effective ways to treat hiccups based on their cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1-Burping: Any pressure to the newborn\u2019s small stomach may cause or worsen hiccups. Making the newborn burp reduces this pressure. To this end, hold the newborn straight on your shoulder and pat them gently on the back or sit the newborn on your knee slightly leaning forward and then pat them gently on the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2-Feeding the newborn: Sucking milk, either breast milk or formula, can stop hiccups by stimulating the diaphragm to relax and return to its normal position. If this doesn\u2019t work, feeding the newborn can distract them from focusing on hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3-Visit a pediatrician to examine your newborns for possible acid reflux: Acid reflux is a condition that happens when some of the acidic stomach contents go back up into the esophagus. In some newborns, frequent and severe hiccups can be a sign of a medical problem. If your infant hiccups more than once or twice a day or for a long period, they may have acid reflux. Other symptoms of acid reflux in newborns include respiratory problems and painful swallowing. Since acid reflux is a curable condition, inform the pediatrician of the case if your newborn hiccups unusually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4-Calm down and wait: Hiccups do not cause serious harm to your newborn. Waiting is sometimes the best solution. Newborn hiccups generally last no longer than 30 minutes and usually stop sooner. Newborns usually hiccup less as they grow older. When a newborn becomes 1 year old, they will hiccup rarely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/baby-hiccups-treatment.jpg\" alt=\"baby hiccups treatment\" class=\"wp-image-27955\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/baby-hiccups-treatment.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/baby-hiccups-treatment-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/baby-hiccups-treatment-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/baby-hiccups-treatment-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/baby-hiccups-treatment-360x203.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/baby-hiccups-treatment-414x233.jpg 414w, https:\/\/jamilian.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/baby-hiccups-treatment-420x236.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"donts-in-the-treatment-of-baby-hiccups\"><strong>Don\u2019ts in the treatment of baby hiccups<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newborn burping after each meal reduces the frequency of hiccups. Do not use common remedies for adults to stop your newborn\u2019s hiccups, such as scaring the newborns, making them breathe in a paper bag, and hanging them from their legs. Such methods not only are harmful to newborns but also cannot stop their hiccups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiccups are considered normal in newborns.
