My son is 35 days and has had a problem with hiccups. every time after feeding he gets them. what could be the problem?

Not uncommon: The newborn stomach is positioned next to the breathing muscle & it is thought that this position triggers the hiccups if the stomach rubs it. It likely bothers you more than baby & usually fades as the kid grows longer/older. I wouldn't waste time trying to treat something that will disappear when its ready.
