A member asked:
My 2 week old baby hiccups after every feed and at least 10x a day. she also has phlegm on her chest after her bottle of nan?

It happens: These are thought due to a pulse wave sent through the breathing muscle in late pregnancy and early infancy. Proximity of the stomach to the breathing muscle has been implicated and as growth begins to separate the two, the kid quits having episodes. It bothers you more than the kid, ignore it.It will pass soon enough.
