الأسئلة الشائعة

Are hiccups painful for my baby?

No. Even though it may look concerning to you — hiccups don't hurt your baby. Many babies even fall asleep with hiccups.

No, you can continue breastfeeding. Swallowing can actually help stop the hiccups. If your baby seems uncomfortable, take a short break and let them burp.
