Baby Hiccups

Hiccups are extremely common in babies and almost always harmless. Babies often have hiccups even in the womb. They pass on their own and bother your baby less than you.

Causes Possibles

  • 1Immature diaphragm contracting
  • 2Drinking too fast or too much
  • 3Temperature changes
  • 4Excitement or overstimulation
  • 5Swallowed air while feeding

Ce Que Vous Pouvez Faire

  • 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
  • Feed more slowly, take more breaks

Quand Consulter un Médecin ?

  • Hiccups last longer than 30-60 minutes (very rare)
  • Baby vomits regularly with hiccups
  • Hiccups persistently interfere with feeding

Notes Selon l'Âge

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

Questions Fréquentes

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.
