My 6 week old DD has hiccups 6 -7 times a day, almost every time she nurses. Could this be within the outskirts of normal? Could it be a symptom of something? The pediatrician said that hiccups were normal.. but I think I need to call him again with the frequency. Does anyone else have a baby that suffers from this? Dr. says that it doesn't bother her.. but I don't know if I believe that!

I don't think it is anything to worry about. I've heard that Gripe Water cures hiccups in babies (and adults) if you are interested...

Both my guys hiccupped constantly and it didn't seem to bother them at all - I would guess in the same frequency as you described. They don't do it that often anymore. If I remember correctly, I think it started to be a lot less often around 5-6mos, abt the same time that we started feeding them rice cereal. I don't know if it's linked or not.
Definitely call your pedi again if you're worried, but I'm guessing it's probably fine!
