My son gets the hiccups after I burp him so I just put him back on the boob. Which is a task because he doesnt seem to believe that it will help so it takes a minute to relatch lol.

Nothing to worry about, my baby hiccups 95% of the time after eating. Having them suck on the boob or bottle again for a little more can typically take care of it but if not and if it seems to be bothering your little one try Gripe Water, it's amazing stuff!

My baby hiccups a lot! He is also colicky we bought colic calm at walgreens (yellow box) it is helping with his gas hiccups and colic. But hiccups wont hurt baby.

Mine does, too. There's typically a burp that comes up with her hiccups, too, so I feel like they are actually good for something. My daughter sometimes seems a bit annoyed by the hiccups themselves, but always seems to feel good after, so we never even tried gripe water. The pediatrician said hiccups are completely normal.

Mine too- he's a fast eater so I think that's part of it.

Same here- it never fails, he gets hiccups after every feeding. I usually sit him upright or with his head elevated (on an incline) for about 5 minutes after burping or trying to burp, then put him on his back to sleep and that has been helping.

Oh I didn't know if you put baby back on boob or give them bottle still it's okay. I thought you couldn't for some reason. :) now I know!
