Why do infants get hiccups? Are they just nuisance or are they necessary for baby’s brain development? Nathalie Kaufmann, Pregnancy and Birth Consultant and TCM Therapist, and Mathias Ritter, Researcher and Science Geek, give you the answer!
First, they explain the many factors that are thought to cause hiccups in babies. And they also discuss why hiccups are normally not a warning sign, unless they come with other symptoms.
Next, they discuss why hiccups, although annoying, may actually be a good thing because they trigger large brainwaves. In fact, in their video, they explain what these brainwaves do and how they could help your baby learn.
Finally, they also explain how to stop baby’s hiccups in case that is what you still wanna do after watching this video.
