Although hiccups are common in adults, it can be very distressing for parents if a 2-year-old baby always hiccups. As the baby is still young and not fully developed like adults, the baby may feel uncomfortable due to constant hiccups. Therefore, many parents want to know how to stop hiccups in 2-year-old babies?
Many babies are prone to hiccups if their posture is not good or if they drink a large amount of milk. This requires mothers to learn how to pat their babies after they have breastfed to help them stop hiccups. Stand the baby up and place it in your arms, gently pat the baby's back, and let the gas in the baby's cavity escape to stop hiccups. Or give the baby some water to eliminate the persistent hiccups. Hiccups are a common phenomenon for babies, so mothers don't need to panic too much.
If mothers can learn to pat and assist their babies in hiccups after each feeding session, allowing the baby's body to release gas, they can prevent the baby from experiencing persistent hiccups. At the same time, they should also be careful not to shake the baby or shake the bottle while feeding, which can cause air to enter the baby's body. Also, pay attention to the correct posture of the baby while breastfeeding, keep the baby in a moderate position, and avoid air entering between the baby and the mother's nipple.
