Why do children always hiccup?

If a child has frequent hiccups, you should pay attention to it. It may be because he eats too fast, which may cause the child to hiccup. In addition, you should be alert to hiccups caused by some gastrointestinal diseases, such as liver and gallbladder diseases, which can easily cause bloating and hiccups. Certain methods can be used to relieve them, such as patting the child's back, changing the body position, etc.

Why do children always hiccup?

Newborn hiccups are mostly benign, self-limiting hiccups that will go away after a while, but this will make the baby feel uncomfortable, so prevention should be the main focus for newborn hiccups. For example, children should not be fed when they are crying and feeling depressed; they should have the correct posture and position when feeding; for breastfed newborns, if the breast milk is sufficient, they should avoid letting the milk flow too quickly when feeding; for formula-fed children, they should also avoid eating hurried, fast, cold or scalding food, and should swallow less and slowly when sucking; when a newborn has hiccups, you can use toys to tease it or play soft music to distract it and reduce the frequency of hiccups. So, what is the reason why babies always hiccup? Let me introduce it to you below.

Warm Tips 1. When patting, put five fingers together and close together, bend the palms into a water-receiving shape, and ensure that there is no air leakage when patting. At the same time, pay attention to the strength of patting, which should generally cause vibration on the baby's back but not make the baby feel pain. 2. Each time you burp the baby, you can do it 2-3 times while the baby is drinking milk. You don’t have to wait until the baby finishes drinking. This is very helpful for the baby's digestion, especially for babies who are prone to bloating, regurgitation, and spitting up. You should burp the baby shortly after starting feeding, which can effectively avoid bloating or spitting up. 3. The key to patting to relieve burping is to change positions frequently. The way to pat to relieve burping varies from person to person. Mothers can try many ways, such as patting the back, touching, massaging, etc. But mothers must understand that frequently changing positions and applying moderate pressure to the baby's abdomen are the key to burping the baby. As long as mothers practice more, they will find the burping tips that are suitable for their babies.
