What should I do if a newborn baby has hiccups?

1. Pat the back: When your baby has hiccups, hold them upright and gently pat their back to help expel air from the stomach and relieve the hiccups. 2. Change positions: Try placing the baby on your lap, gently massage their back, or rock them gently—this may also effectively stop the hiccups. 3. Give warm water: If the baby frequently has hiccups, offer some warm water, making sure the temperature is not too hot to avoid scalding.
