put a little bit of sugar on your finger and put it in her mouth..i was told that one and it has worked for me in the past.

DO NOT put sugar in her mouth!!!!!!

They will go away on their own!!

Hiccups are more upsetting to us. Molly gets them almost everyday. They do not affect their breathing or anything else. Have fun on Godmom day
