Infant hiccups

What do you do if your infant hiccups? Do you just let them be? My MIL insists that I dab water on my LO’s lips to help alleviate the hiccup. But I understand no water for them until 6 months old. Is that ok? Any other mommy tips? My LO hiccups almost after every feed, regardless direct latch / bottle feed EBM. I hope the hiccup doesn’t bother her...

Let him drink alittle milk to stop his hiccup. Water is a no no as their tummy is too small and feeding them water will make them full and they will not drink milk. And water has not nutritional value. And I don’t think Dabbing water in baby’s lips will remove the hiccups
