Hello.
A hiccup is an involuntary, spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles that results in sudden inspiration and ends with abrupt closure of the glottis.
So, in simple words its normal for it to occur when the child laughs.
Next Steps
Please specify the duration for the problem.
