Feeding baby during hiccups is generally safe. Hiccups are very common in babies and usually don't cause discomfort. If your baby wants to nurse or bottle feed, you can continue breastfeeding or bottle feeding. In fact, the sucking reflex sometimes helps the baby get through the hiccups.
However, if the baby is swallowing too much air while feeding (signs of restlessness, gas colic), it's better to pause feeding and help them burp. If hiccups last more than a few minutes and baby seems uncomfortable, try holding them upright for a while and wait for them to settle.
Note: If hiccups last longer than 2 hours and are accompanied by breathing difficulty or vomiting in your baby, I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
