Sometimes babies get hiccups, and I know that it can be frightening. I often get calls from clients saying “Oh no, the baby has hiccups what can I do?” Hiccups are very common. And just like hiccups do not hurt us, hiccups don’t hurt babies. Sometimes you see a baby look a little distressed or may cry; that’s just because they do not understand what is happening to them and that something out of their control is controlling them. The best thing to do is nothing. You can distract your baby by talking to your baby, rocking your baby singing to your baby, and doing any other bonding exercise that would distract your baby. But in regards to giving them anything or feeding them anything, it’s recommended that when the baby gets the hiccups you just leave them be. There’s no sense in scaring them; that’s not going to help them; it will only make it worse. Some parents use gripe water, or even distilled cooled chamomile tea to relieve the hiccups
