My baby's hiccups

If taking water does not help and it is everyday this often and you are worried, talk to your doctor. Maybe he will have a better idea. For adults the sugar works if you take A BIG spoon full. The idea is that you are concentrating so hard on getting all the sugar out of your mouth, that you 'forget' about the hiccups. Try to do the same with your baby, no I don't mean give her a mouth ful of sugar, but do something to get her attention, Rasberies to the tummy, tickle her with your hair, bounce her on your knee, just what ever will get her to pay attention to you not the bothersome hiccups.l

Sometimes babies that swallow air will cause themselves to have hiccups. As the first respondant posted, a little sugar water will help stop the diaphragm spasms your baby has. A teaspoon of sugar eaten by kids and adults will stop the hiccups, too. Honey and other sweetners won't work; it has to be cane sugar.

I've heard of just giving them water, or water with a little sugar in it. There isn't much else you can do with her being so young.

my son also will have hiccups even now when he is 9mths old, sometimes when he laff too much he will have hiccups. i just let him hiccups his hiccups away, PD told me before dun feed water when they are having hiccups coz scared they choked on the water.

My son had hiccups before he was born. The first time it happened, I got scared because my belly was moving with every hiccup and I didn't know what it was. I woke up my mother in law to come and look, and she laughed and said, oh, it's just the baby hiccuping. All of my kids had hiccups when they were babies, and I tried everything, but the hiccups didn't last too long. I think they just eventually outgrow them.

i was just on the phone with one of my friends and her baby had the hiccups constanly,and at one point one of mine did too.so she told me to get gripe water.i was like what the heck is that?its a herbal supplement to use a babys upset stomache,hiccups,and collicness.you can put it in the baby bottle with juice or water.and it may be taken up to 6 times in a 24 hr period.this stuff is great.i thank her all the time.so i hope this helps you out.

i remember those. i used to laugh mostly because they look so cute. my son used to get so frustrated too. people are right though, the most you can do is try to give them some water (not with sugar in it like people said, you should get them used to straight water) after that, hold them, comfort them, rub their backs till it goes away.

There's really nothing you can do. They'll go away on their own. My son is 5 months and he still gets them, just not quite as often as he did at your daughters age.
