You don't need to pick up a hiccupping baby to burp them. Hiccups are involuntary contractions of the diaphragm muscle—they're not related to gas in the stomach. If your baby seems uncomfortable, you can hold them upright for a few minutes and gently rub their back, but you don't need to insist on burping to stop the hiccups. Hiccups usually go away on their own; continuing to feed or offering a pacifier is usually enough.
