are hiccups serious in babies   

Make sure your baby burps: After you feed your baby, hold him/her in an upright position and make them burp so if there is any gastric issue in the stomach, it gets resolved. Give them a pacifier: It helps in diaphragm relaxation and help stop the periods of hiccups. The simplest way is to pat on baby’s back. Hold him/her against the shoulder and pat gently but firmly. Sugar: Place a pinch of sugar on the baby’s tongue. The sweetness of sugar will distract the nerves and stop the diaphragm from contractions. Try giving water. Let it stop on its own.
