    #@$%ing hiccups!!!

    AGH! I just manage to settle her and she is about to drift off and they start up again!!!
    She gets them at least once a day, often more. And I can do nothing but wait them out and then start all over again.
    Anyone else's baby get them all the time? Got any remedies?

    My DD used to get them all the time but as she's gotten older they've settled down. It is a pain, sometimes she didn't look bothered but other times I could see they were annoyimg her. Ummm I think sometimes giving her the breast again would help, thats all I can think of.

    Hi,

    Yup I share your pain, sometimes my boy gets them 2/3 times a day. What I do is I breastfeed, and without being too full on, I make him take a good mouthful ( attach really well ) usually gone in 30 secs. Having said that, he will go to sleep in the sling while still hiccuping.

    K was a very hiccupy baby too (and he still does get them quite often!). The only 2 things that worked to quickly get rid of them was a BF or if he had a cry LOL.

    Yep.. Jesse gets them 2 out of 3 feeds. The only way i was told to get rid of them was to either wait it out or if youre breastfeeding stick her back on your boob. That worked for Jesse while i was breastfeed but im not anymore so he's gotta wait it out unfortunately.
