\"\"<\/p>\n

Today I would like to present you a REAL hiccups cure for infants.<\/p>\n

Newborns are adorable. They are also a hot mess of biology. That\u2019s an official term \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Along with the baby acne, spit up, gas, and blow-outs<\/a> \u2026 there\u2019s hiccups. Almost ALL newborns get hiccups regularly<\/b> (sometimes seemingly constantly!) They\u2019re not dangerous at all.<\/p>\n

However, some infants do seem to be upset by them. The hiccups can also cause some infants to swallow air \u2026. Which we all know can lead to that dreaded gas! That\u2019s why parents care. That\u2019s why there\u2019s a lot of crap about there about a \u201cbaby hiccups cure\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"I<\/p>\n

In this article, I\u2019ll explain what the hiccups are (biologically), and how my \u201ccure\u201d might <\/b>actually be <\/b>a<\/b>ble to help your little angel.<\/b><\/p>\n

Hiccups are caused by a spasm in the diaphragm muscle. That\u2019s the shelf-like muscle under the lungs that helps your chest puff up when you take a deep breath. When it spasms (like an eye twitch), you hiccup. The hiccups go away when the muscle relaxes.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why some babies get hiccups after they drink too much<\/b>. When their little stomachs swell full of milk, it will press on the diaphragm and can cause the dreaded twitching. So, figure out how to get <\/b>your babies <\/b>diap<\/b>hragm<\/b> to relax, and you\u2019ve got a cure!!<\/b>[\/fusion_text][fusion_text]How the heck do you get a diaphragm to relax?! I\u2019ll tell you!!<\/p>\n

This baby hiccups cure is actually from my Mom, the original baby whisperer. She\u2019s been doing this with babies for over 30 years because it works! I\u2019m just here to pass along the knowledge and explain why.<\/p>\n

Here are the steps to help stopping hiccups:<\/span><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Sitting down, h<\/b>old your baby in the \u201ccolic position\u201d belly down<\/b> and cradling his jaw in the crook between your thumb and pointer finger <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Gently drape his body over one of your thighs. So your cradling his head with one hand, and holding his little booty with the other. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Adjust his position so this his full weight is on your thigh. You\u2019re still supporting his little butt with your hand (so he doesn\u2019t slide of your leg onto the floor), but his weight is on your thigh. This allows his own weight to add gentle even pressure to his belly and <\/b>diaph<\/b>rag<\/b>m<\/b> \u2013 that\u2019s the key!<\/b> <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Now very slowly rock your leg back and forth or up and down \u2013 whatever feels natural. The gentle rocking motion will further help baby relax. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Sing or hum to your baby! This will help YOU relax. Your baby will sense your calm. Also, it will help you keep your leg muscles relaxed which means a softer cushion.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

    That\u2019s it! It may take a few minutes for your baby to relax. You\u2019ll feel his little limbs become more dead weight and then poof! Hicc<\/b>ups<\/b> cured! <\/b>Sometimes it works almost instantly!<\/p>\n

    I will say \u2013 this won\u2019t work if the baby is screaming. In that case, try to calm him down first, and then drape him over your thigh.<\/p>\n\n

    Still confused? Here\u2019s a video version of the instructions:<\/em><\/h6>\n
