No. My son does that all the time usually after he spits up or burps. I use gripe water to ease them because he gets so upset when he has the hiccups lol. It has seemed to work. Gripe water is for hiccups, upset stomach, fussiness, etc. it's all natural I believe and you can use it for a newborn and up. Adults can even use it.

nope he or she is practicing breathing it's really good
