How to get rid of baby hiccups fastest way?

Majority of the time after feeds my LO hiccups and she can’t go to sleep till it stops and it can last so long! Does anyone have any ways to avoid it or how to stop it? Hate watching her but cannot help her 😞

Unfortunately there’s actually nothing you can do!

I hear you , My LO gets hiccups all the time . I raised it with the midwife cs I was so concerned as they are a regular thing ; nearly every feed she gets them but they said it’s perfectly normal and that it can also helps realise gas for them.
The only way I’ve been able to kinda help the hiccups is by giving her a dummy if she accepts it at the time as the sucking can apparently help to relax the diaphragm which causes the hiccups.x

My boy gets hiccups allllll the time. I was stopping feeding him until they go and then starting again. Midwife said continue to feed through them and the fluid can help to relieve them x

Feeding helps them go straight away for us, sometimes a dummy

Dummy helps my little one, it regulates their breathing x

My little one had hiccups in the womb every evening, and then when he was born. He's now two and still gets them sometimes.
Don't worry it's normal and doesn't hurt them. Fortunately my son could fall asleep and they would just stop xx

I give my little one a dummy or stick him on the boob. The suckling helps relax the diaphragm. My boy gets them after eating every time (eat, burp, sick up and swallow/reflux(?) then hiccups - always this without fail)

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.
