Hiccups! Should she be having them 6+ times a day???

[pinky27]

hiya, Bit worried my 10 week old daughter seems to have constant hiccups ( usually 6 times a day or more) - she does't get them at night time ( thank goodness!). Is this normal? What can I do to stop them? Am I doing something wrong??
Thanks

Ds had hiccups loads when he was tiny. He was even hiccupping before he was born! It's normal as far as I remember and no lasting ill effects either.

Babies are hiccuppy creatures. Try feeding her (or getting her to suck on something) - this advice is not merely from experience, I've even read an article in New Scientist which recommended and explained why! (ages ago,I can't remember the 'why' now, of course)

Thanks - feel a lot better now! :)
