My baby is a premie, she was born at 35 weeks gestation. She now 2 weeks old, she has been to the doctor and was given a clean bill of health...but I have noticed that she tends to the get the hiccups atleast once a day.
My husband things it's no big deal, but I'm thinking about calling the doctor. Has anyone else experienced their baby getting hiccups? How do you stop them, and did you contact your doctor? Thanks! Posted on 05/19/08, 09:05 pm |

i think it's normal and they should just stop on their own :)

agreed, my kiddo gets them when I get the fun duty of burping him...I hold him at a slightly different angle than the wife does and he almost always gets hiccups and gets over them...he is only 2 weeks and they do not even seem to bother him...I would not suggest scaring him or making him hold his breath to get them to stop:) The kids will work through it:)

My son gets them every day, poor thing. There isn't anything you can do, they do go away on their own. I just feel so bad for him.

its totally normal ours would also hiccup at least once a day as a newborn now that shes 2 months old. i also had asked the ped he said its normal, i looked up the defenitiona and cause of hiccups on wikipedia.cam and it basically said its when a sudden gush of air hits the wind pipes so may be your air conditioner or fan
