Actually there is a purpose to hiccups as Long as it’s not more than 8 mins at a time. So don’t worry and let baby just hiccup When babies hiccup, researchers have discovered they have two brainwaves likely linked to the feeling in their chest, and a third thought to be a reaction to the ‘hic’ sound occurring together with the contraction. Hiccups cause a sudden movement of the diaphragm, so the brainwaves may train babies how to control this muscle. It is important to learn how to consciously breathe, whether to recover from exercise or take a deep breath in stressful situations.
