<\/span><\/p>\nPut a clean towel on your shoulder, hold your baby, and rest your baby’s head on your shoulder. With one hand, you hold your baby, the other hand rubs his back in a circular motion or gently pats it in the direction from the bottom up to burp him.<\/p>\n
Are hiccups a sign baby is full<\/h2>\n
Some parents wonder if hiccups are the ways their babies are trying to let them know that they are full and don\u2019t want more milk. And sometimes it\u2019s true. <\/p>\n
As they swallow a lot of air during feeding, and they eat enough, there is a lot of gas and hiccups start to come out to reduce the pressure in their stomachs.<\/p>\n
However, hiccups do not always mean that way. Other times, hiccups are just a symptom that there is gas in their stomachs, and the gas needs to come out. <\/p>\n
To make sure your baby is full, you have to look out for other signs, such as the number of dirty diapers, your baby\u2019s weight gain chart, and his sleeping schedule.<\/p>\n
What happens if a baby doesn\u2019t burp<\/h2>\n
At the end of the day, burping is a way to help the baby to release the gas in his little tummy. And if he doesn\u2019t show any sign of discomfort or pain, he probably doesn\u2019t have much gas in his belly and doesn\u2019t need burping.<\/p>\n

How long should I burp a baby with hiccups?<\/h2>\n
Depending on how much gas your baby has swallowed during feeding, you can burp your baby for a longer or shorter time.<\/p>\n
When your baby has hiccups, you should try to burp him 2 to 3 minutes longer than normal until the hiccups are gone or when he doesn\u2019t seem to be bothered by those hiccups anymore.<\/p>\n
How hard should I burp a baby with hiccups?<\/h2>\n
<\/span><\/p>\nNow don’t think when your baby has hiccups then he will need harder patting. Burping your baby too hard can make him scared or even hurt him.<\/p>\n
Gently pat or rub on your baby\u2019s back as normal for 10 minutes or so to burp him. And if he seems to feel uncomfortable and cannot burp, switch to a different burping technique to help him.<\/p>\n
Can hiccups go away themselves?<\/h2>\n
It is scary watching your little one have hiccups and spits milk. But hiccups are not as scary as we think they are. <\/p>\n
Most of the time, hiccups will go away themselves.<\/p>\n
You can and should try to help your little one to get rid of hiccups when it happens by burping him, but if for some reason you cannot, hiccups will eventually go away.<\/p>\n
Burping a baby with hiccups can take quite a long time.<\/h2>\n
<\/span><\/p>\nJust be patient, you know exactly what you have to do.<\/p>\n
Remember, if you try too hard and nothing seems to work, but your baby seems to be comfortable with hiccups, relax. He probably doesn\u2019t need burping or needs any help with those hiccups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
It\u2019s hard enough to get your baby to burp, but it is even harder to burp a baby with hiccups. You seem to try to do exactly what the doctor told you, but your baby just doesn\u2019t burp. And when he starts to hiccup you panic. Would he choke on the milk if he hiccups?
