What is the reason why newborns often hiccup?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of hiccups in children are caused by spasms of the diaphragm. Oral administration of vitamin B6 is the treatment. Mothers should maintain a balanced diet, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy foods, drink more water, get adequate rest, and promptly supplement various vitamins and trace elements.
