Patient's question:
Baby has been born for over a month and often hiccups, is that normal? It looks so pitiful. Is there any way? Baby has been born for over a month and often hiccups, is that normal?Doctor's answer:
The diaphragm is a muscle in the human body that is closely related to breathing. If it spasms, a person will hiccup. In the first few months after birth, infants often hiccup frequently. One possible reason is that they are stimulated strongly, causing them to hiccup, and the other is that air is inhaled while feeding, which is all normal. By the time they reach three or four months, the diaphragm of the infant develops more maturely and can work more effectively, and the phenomenon of hiccuping also correspondingly decreases.
