Can a newborn baby lie down when he hiccups? Why do newborn babies always hiccup?

Newborns are very fragile, so they need careful care from their mothers. However, some first-time mothers may be at a loss when it comes to some situations of their babies, such as hiccups. So let's find out whether newborns can lie down when they hiccup. Why do newborns always hiccup?

When a newborn baby hiccups, try not to lie flat. Lying flat may cause certain obstruction to the newborn's respiratory tract, which will affect the process of hiccups and may cause obstruction of the respiratory tract. Therefore, when a newborn baby has hiccups, try to hold the newborn baby upright and pat the burp in time. After the hiccups, the newborn baby needs to drink a few sips of warm milk or warm boiled water to relieve the symptoms of hiccups. Hiccups in newborns may be caused by catching a cold, or the newborn baby may inhale cold air. Therefore, you should pay attention to keeping the newborn baby warm to prevent the newborn from catching cold. When there are obvious symptoms of hiccups, you also need to consider whether the newborn baby has indigestion.

1. If the baby is constantly nervous, the body needs more oxygen, and the baby's mouth will continue to absorb air and burp. 2. If there is no interference from other diseases, the child suddenly burps loudly, which may be due to cold. 3. If the baby drinks too much milk or drinks milk too quickly, he will inhale a lot of air and burp continuously. 4. The milk the baby drinks is too cold, and the baby is fed too many cold medicines, which then interferes with the normal function of the spleen and stomach, and the stomach gas rises, which can also cause hiccups. 5. The baby suddenly cries or is awakened, and then feeding will cause hiccups. If the baby is allergic to milk protein and hiccups occur, the mother can first ask the doctor for advice, and then prepare professional special formula milk powder for feeding. Hiccups need to reduce the amount of milk and increase the number of times to relieve. When putting the nipple and pacifier into the baby's mouth, make sure that most of it has entered the mouth and is placed above his tongue. If it enters the mouth in a hurry, it will only make the milk overflow and the child will inhale more air.

1. Burp your baby frequently. When feeding your baby, you should burp your baby frequently. If your baby feels uncomfortable, you should stop feeding him or change your posture to slow down swallowing.

2. Pay attention to eating habits. Newborns must be fed on demand, and there is no need to set a specific time for feeding. Do not wait until the baby is too hungry to feed. If the baby sucks milk too quickly, it is more likely to cause hiccups.

3. Don’t eat too much. Not eating enough has always been a concern for many parents. In order to make the baby full, they will keep feeding the baby. If the baby eats too much, it will cause bloating and hiccups.

4. Choose a suitable bottle. If the baby is fed with milk powder, pay attention to choosing a suitable bottle. The hole of the nipple must be suitable, and the milk must be mixed according to a strict ratio. Don't shake the bottle too hard, just shake it gently.

Try not to bathe a newborn baby with hiccups, because there are many reasons for hiccups, and bathing may cause the body to be exposed to cold, making the condition worse, so it is better not to bathe. Most newborn hiccups are normal physiological phenomena, but it is not ruled out that they are caused by cold abdomen or gastrointestinal diseases, which require relevant examinations and diagnosis. Newborns have low immunity and must take good care of them to avoid indoor temperatures that are too high or too low, and to keep the temperature deviation from the outdoor temperature not too large. Try to choose clothes and bedding that are better in breathing and air permeability to avoid skin allergies, and disinfect the baby's items regularly.
