Hiccups in newborn baby is this normal?

[breeze]

Is it normal for a week old baby to be hiccups. Bottle feeding. Any tips/idea's?.

Completely normal Breeze, my DD was a chronic hiccuper ! She would have at least 3 30 min bouts a day, she was breast-fed for the 1st 10 weeks and then bottle. To be honest I think it's just a sign of the body getting used to its new way of feeding etc. DD's hiccups didn't cause her any discomfort and she manged to sleep perfectly well with them, so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

P.S. There was noting I could do to stop them, we just had to ride it out ! She grew out of it at around 14 weeks.

Totally normal... they even have hiccups in the womb!

Dd had hiccups every day from me being 7m pg! I could see and feel them really clearly. She went on to be a very hiccupy baby but it did her no harm at all. She grew out of it too at about 2/3 months). She was bottle fed but not colicky or anything.

Yeah, I think so. Both of mine had them in utro & for the 1st few weeks outside. It cleared up by itself.

Absolutely normal - my dd hiccupped in the womb, hiccupped many many times daily once born and still at 14 months gets hiccups pretty regularly. I am also a chronic hiccuper - several times a week, so maybe it runs in the family. Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. And most other babies seem to grow out of it within the first few months.

Yes - ds hiccuped inside and out of me! Some bottles claim to reduce wind etc.

These Dr Brown ones are supposed to be great, very expensive though at £10.99 a pair.

breeze my dd hiccuped like mad from 7 months gestation to 4 months old!

Yes, normal here too. DD hiccupped as a little baby and lots in the womb. Dh used to find it highly entertaining to watch my tummy bounce up and down with DD's hiccups!

My DD had hiccups during my labor and was born with them too!
