A member asked:
Why lately has my baby been getting the hiccups a lot more often?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal for babies: It is quite normal for newborns to have hiccups. It is a spasm of their diaphragm muscle. The muscle is immiture and therefor often spasms. This ultimately lessens as the baby gets older. But it is normal.
