baby hiccups

 Gripe water sometimes helps.  My dd had hiccups all the time too.  They grow out of it eventually.

 

lay her on her left side after feeding...it could be her insides are not mature enough yet, causing her diaphragm to push against her stomach...another option is to try elevating whatever she is sleeping on, so her head is a little higher than the rest of her body...you want her whole body at a slight incline, not just her head. 

We co sleep so she sleeps on my arm and is always propped up. She was a 36weeker idk if that makes a difference. My son was full term and he rarly had hiccups and never more than a minute or two.

Ill try the side thing tho. She loves laying on her side or on my chest.

I think I read its their diaphram getting stronger.

I second gripe water. My 3 month old got severe hiccups the first two months after he was born. We bought Baby's Bliss at our local Walgreen's. It really worked for us. Usually after 10 minutes the hiccups had stopped.

At somepoint this week ill have to get some. She's been keeping me up all night and I'm to tired to drive and dh works full time and is work 12days in a row starting today O.o

Frequent hiccups like that in babies is a BIG indicator of reflux. Not a guarantee and obviously there are other symptoms as well, but hiccups are a big one.

Reflux is also common in babies that are not full term.

My son had super bad reflux and would projectile vomit on me after feeding. He had to take a medication for it.
She rarly spits up. But when feeding she thrashes her head a lot and its hard to keep her latched to boob or bottle
