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)
