Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the majority of the causes of hiccups and vomiting at an age of 8 are related to stomach contents reflux back into chest. My guidelines in such cases are:
- Burp the child over your shoulder for a period of minimum 30 minutes or till the child gets burp fully after the each feed, whatever period is longer
- Do not allow the child to lie down immediately after feed
- Take care that the child does not get prone or side wise during sleep
- Check to have regular smooth bowel evacuations on regular basis
- Do not allow formula feed, just stick to the breast feed only

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
