can my baby burp while hiccupping?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A baby cannot pass gas while hiccupping. Hiccups are involuntary contractions of the diaphragm muscle, while burping is air being released from the stomach—they're different body systems and happen at different times.

If your baby is hiccupping and seems uncomfortable, you can hold them upright for a few minutes and gently rub their back, but the hiccups aren't related to burping. Hiccups in babies are very common and go away on their own—usually continuing to feed or offering a pacifier is enough.
