Calm a flustered baby by rubbing or patting the baby’s back. Babies who are hungry and upset are more likely to gulp air, which causes hiccups.
Rub or gently pat the baby’s back. This helps the bubbles of gas to move. Resume feeding after the baby burps, or wait a few minutes if the baby does not burp.
Burp more frequently if you are feeding a newborn, as newborn infants will eat less in one sitting. Newborns usually feed eight to 12 times a day. [6] X Trustworthy Source Mayo Clinic Educational website from one of the world’s leading hospitals Go to source
