    Both my DS's were hiccuppers - they were in utero too. If it's any consolation, apparently it doesn't bother babies the way it bothers us. They can be quite comfortable even with hiccups. DS2 was also a chucker. At least once after every feed for I don't know how long - 4, 5 or 6 months. The paed said it was normal and one day would stop. It did eventually and a couple of days later I sat down to feed and looked around for the cloth nappy ready for the chuck up, and realised that he hadn't vomitted in a day or two!

    So it does stop and it is normal. Please try not to worry, you are doing a great job. It is certainly possible that it would ease once the milk settles a bit. I hope it stays that way for you.

    I miss that feeling. My mum never experienced it with any of her pgs. She thought I was nuts when I told her about it!
