Patient's question:
My grandchild just turned 7 days old. I heard my son and daughter-in-law on the phone saying that the baby often hiccups and chokes on milk, basically every day. They are worried that the baby might have some problem, so they called us, the elderly, to ask for advice. They want to know what the doctor suggests for a newborn who frequently hiccups and chokes on milk.Doctor's answer:
It is also common for newborns to hiccup and suck milk. The most important thing to pay attention to is the following points. First, when the mother feeds the baby, the posture must be correct to prevent the baby from inhaling a large amount of air, which can lead to hiccups or sucking milk. After the baby finishes drinking milk, it is necessary to hold the baby upright with your hands to help him burp. He can lie down to sleep every time he urinates. Then, when the baby is full, try not to move him, as this can also cause him to hiccup.
