Hi lybrate-user, hiccups are more frequently observed in newborn babies. As they grow, the frequency will comes down. If the baby is active, feeding well and there are no other issues, then nothing to worry. Give exclusive breastfeeds and burp the baby after each breast feeding. Hope I have answered your query.

It is a completely normal phenomenon. Its a neonatal reflex.
