Due to the immature development of the visual system in young babies, hiccups are often found in their daily lives. When feeding a baby, it is important to maintain a quiet environment and avoid feeding after the baby is excessively hungry or crying. And take reasonable measures to alleviate the discomfort of hiccups. So what about hiccups in a 12 day old baby? Let's all learn about it together!
If it's just an occasional sudden hiccup that doesn't affect the normal development of the baby, there's no need to worry. The hiccup will disappear on its own in about 5 to 10 minutes. Sometimes a baby's hiccups are caused by bloating in the abdomen. It is recommended that parents gently pat the baby's back or gently massage the baby's abdomen after the baby finishes drinking milk to promote exhaust, which can better prevent the baby from hiccups. If the baby doesn't burp, be sure to hold the baby upright for 15 minutes.
In addition, when a baby hiccups, feeding them some plain water or leading them to do some fun activities can greatly improve the discomfort symptoms of hiccups. When a baby frequently burps and experiences symptoms of decreased appetite and weight loss, it is important to promptly take the baby to the hospital for a detailed examination. Furthermore, the care of babies requires parents to be more attentive. As the baby's various organs develop and mature, these uncomfortable symptoms will gradually improve.
