Baby Hiccups

Qué Puedes Hacer
- Wait — hiccups usually pass on their own after 5-10 minutes
- Gently continue breastfeeding or offer bottle (swallowing can help)
- Hold baby upright and let them burp

¿Cuándo Consultar al Médico?
- Hiccups last longer than 30-60 minutes (very rare)

Notas Según la Edad
Most common in the first 6 months. Decreases with age as the diaphragm matures. Fetal hiccups (felt in the womb) are also completely normal.
Preguntas Frecuentes
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.
