Why do newborns hiccup often: it's all about the physiology of babies
Many new mothers notice that their babies hiccup frequently.
This is not some kind of self-hypnosis, as it may seem at first glance - babies really do hiccup more often.
The reason lies in the physiology of babies.
First, let's discuss the mechanism of hiccups. In both children and adults, they occur due to involuntary contractions of the diaphragm, the large muscle with which we breathe.
In young children, the nervous system is not yet so trained, and it adapts to extrauterine life conditions, which leads to more frequent episodes of hiccups.
As a result, certain factors that adults and older children are already familiar with can irritate the nerves that control the contraction of the diaphragm muscles in babies.
As a result, unexpected repeated spasms occur.
Over time, the child naturally overcomes this problem.
