The following methods can be used to help relieve frequent hiccups in babies:
1. Crying to stop hiccups. When a baby has hiccups, pick them up and gently tap the soles of their feet to induce crying, which may help stop the hiccups.
2. Drinking water to stop hiccups. For babies with frequent hiccups, first hold them upright and gently pat their back several times, then give them some warm water or warm milk, which may also help alleviate the hiccups.
It is recommended to seek guidance from a qualified hospital and perform these measures under the direction of a professional doctor.
