This morning, Risotto had hiccups for the first time! I loved it. At first I thought we were playing a game - he pushed, then I pushed back, and then he pushed again, and so on. But when the game kept going on for minutes on end, I realized he probably didn't know we were playing a game and maybe it was a reflex instead.
Justin and I felt a little bit bad for him, because he can't have a spoonful of sugar or hold his breath to get them to go away.
General, hiccups are a good sign! They are teaching his body reflexes, how to swallow and breathe, and help regulate his heartbeat. They also mean that his central nervous system has completely developed. Grow on, little one!
