hiccups after middle of night feeding

without fail my DD always gets the hiccups after I lay her down after one of her nighttime feedings.  I always try to burp her...sometimes it works and sometimes she won't burp...but either way she always gets the hiccups.  She is already sleeping on an incline and I allow her to stay in upright position for about 10-15 mins before placing her in the bassinet.  Once she gets the hiccups she is fussy and has trouble falling asleep.  Any suggestions on what I can do to make sure she doesn't get them?  I know it's normal and most babies get them but it really effects her falling back to sleep.

  • Following my LO does the same thing.
  • Following. My mini won't fall asleep with the hiccups so when she gets them were up for a long time
  • My son only gets hiccups after a good burp lol. Poor babies, I feel so bad for them hiccups are annoying. Not sure if it'll help but they make gripe water for colic and hiccups, couldn't hurt it seems to help my son.

  • Following. Mine is in his crib as we speak hiccuping. I just know he's about to start fussing ugh and he was burped!
  • My little man gets them all the time. Gripe Water works great to get rid of them. I purchased this at CVS. It gets rid of them immediately!
  • Breastfeeding for 30 seconds always cures my baby's hiccups!
  • Once she gets it breast feed her again it go in seconds
  • Gripe water is magical! Just be careful they don't choke! Highly recommended
  • Gripe water for sure! Always gets rid of LO's hiccups. Typically I don't even need to do the full recommended amount for it to work. I use the Mommy's Bliss brand.
  • As a lot of PP have said. Gripe water. It helps my LO so much. Cures her hiccups in like 1 minute and keeps her reflux at bay.
