Colicky baby
My 3 weeks baby having constant hiccups & coughing. What is the reason for this? How to cure? Please help, even coughs while drinking milk. Do I need to change teats? Give pacifier?
Try anti colic milk bottle. If baby kept crying try to swaddle, hug, talk to baby, sway left right to comfort them. No explanation to colic baby because of them will have it. Baby will usually cry at night till wee hrs. If baby direct latch hold ur breast to slow down suction. If baby bottle fed seat position baby 45 degree and tilt bottle abit to slow down milk flow. Baby will tend to cough because they try to breathe and drink at same time. They still trynna learn to do it together at same time hence sometimes they choke and cough.
Read moremy lo is 5 weeks now and hiccups are still common. CN mentioned that hiccups will go off on its own after sometime but if it’s too long, i’ll burp him + give him some milk (5-10ml). hiccup should be gone by then
My LO is using Dr Brown Option+ milk bottle. It’s definitely helping in terms of colic and lesser milk spit. If you suspect your LO is drinking too fast, you can consider changing the teat.
