Hi tc!! Glad to hear you're doing well in the tc household.

Tbh I don't think there's anything you can do for hiccups. Why do you think they're driving him mad? Niamh used to get them LOADS when she was tiny too and I never found anything to stop them. It was a pain when she'd get them after feeding her in the middle of the night cos I didn't want to try putting her down with them and sometimes they'd last for ages. They don't do any harm though and she doesn't get them much at all these days so I guess it must be something they grow out of.

sorry, that wasn't much help was it?

Hey TC!! to Damsels!

Can't help you with the hiccups I'm afraid I think it's just something they grow out of as their digestive system develops. Soz.

Jack gets them loads too, he was really hicuppy baby on the inside and it has just carried on on the outside! I haven't found anything to help him though, he doesn't seem to bothered by them and sometimes they are really strong ones.

Diddlum Jack gets them at night too and its a real pain waiting for them to go so i can put him down again.

Isabel gets the hiccups several times a day, at first they used to make her cry, now they dont bother her.

I sometimes find giving her a dummy to suck on seems to stop them pretty quickly, but that could be fluke!
