Hiccups in 2 months
My baby is 2 months old and gets frequent hiccups. Maybe like 4 times in a day. It creates a bit of discomfort in him, as sometimes he cries during hiccups. He is on majority mother's milk and takes formula once in a day at night. He takes 7-9 feeds in a day. His weight is 5kgs.
Please suggest what can be done to avoid hiccups ?
