2 day old and hiccups

[GELSIDE]

My little lady won't lay down for more than a couple of minutes as she gets really bad hiccups.

I'm breastfeeding and the midwife said she thinks it's mucus at the back of her throat which will clear in time but to try a saline nasal spray to help clear it.

Anyone got any tips to make my DD happy laying down in the meantime?

I can only offer my sympathy, my lo had hiccups after every night feed, he had silent reflux, just counted down the days till I felt happy to give him a dummy at 2 weeks. Could you try feeding whilst your lo is already layed down?

You could try elevating her mattress so it easier for her to swallow the mucus. For very different reasons both of mine slept like this from being very young
