Newborn hiccups

Hiya, i have a quick question if anyone could help🙌🏼 My newborn who’s 1 week and 2 days old loves feeding lol. She drinks too quick and always has hiccups after every single feed. Is there any way to help ease these up?? She also sometimes brings a little milk back up every time too but doesn’t seem to phase her? I try burp her after every feed and she is a gassy baby😅 She feeds on average every 4 hourly, and still awaiting the health visitor to call/come out!

Any advice would be much appreciated🥺

Hiccups can be really normal, my daughter used to get them and had them in the womb all the time too! Are you breast or bottle feeding? If bottle then look at paced feeding and making sure the bottle is horizontal rather than pointing down when you feed. If breast it could be something like fast letdoen or oversupply

But if not bothering her I wouldn't worry too much, sounds very much like normal baby behaviour.
