Patient's question:
All newborn babies are initially fed milk. I don't know why she keeps hiccuping all the time. I haven't been giving her too much milk—only about five times a day. Sometimes, severe hiccuping can cause vomiting. I want to ask the doctor if this child is uncomfortable when hiccuping?Doctor's answer:
Little babies feel uncomfortable when they burp. So, when the baby has just finished drinking milk, don't let the baby lie down immediately. Hold the baby upright and listen. Pat the back. This can help relieve the burping in little babies. If the baby is uncomfortable, it's necessary to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. It's normal for babies to burp when they are young because their digestive systems are not fully developed at that age.
