Babies have hiccups as their diaphragm and muscles are still developing and have not acquired the necessary control to be firm. Your baby is actually quite used to hiccupping as he has experienced them even as a little peach in your womb. You will notice your baby get hiccups after feeding and it is all the more likely when he suffers from reflux.
You may also observe your baby gets hiccups while laughing. As long as your baby’s hiccups go away in sometime and don’t persist the entire day, you can be assured that everything is normal. There are no remedies for hiccups and they usually fade away on their own. Some babies find being breastfed relieving as hiccups go away in the process, but it differs from child to child. At any point, if you notice your little one getting fussy or uncomfortable, consult a doctor.
