The other night you had hiccups for the first time. A little strange considering it was in me and I wasn't the one with hiccups.But as your Daddy said "You are really going to hate them you you get out!" Since most likely this will be the case you thought we'd give you a top ten list of things you could do to cure your hiccups.
Top Ten Ways to Cure Hiccups
- Take a deep, long breath and hold it for 10 seconds and then let it out slowly. Repeat 2-3 times.
- Drink a whole glass of water without stopping and plug your nose. (First need to work on holding a glass to get this one done)
- Drink a glass of water upside down. (Your dad claims this one works, has yet to work for me)
- Take a spoonful of sugar and stick the spoon in your mouth. Suck on the spoon of sugar for 5 seconds and than take a sip of water.
- Have someone scary you.
- Drink a 1/2 teaspoon of pickle juice every 7-10 seconds until Hiccups stop. (You might want gum or mints on hand after this one)
- Smell vinegar for 10 seconds. (This might burn your nasal cavity. Just warning you)
- Suck in your stomach for 10 seconds and release very quickly. Repeat as needed.
- Lay down facing up on a large, flat, and even surface. Stay down for 2-5 minutes.
- Lean your head back. Put a penny on your forehead and wait till they go away.
Honestly, I am sure a lot of it is just waiting for the hiccups to runs its course but you are more than welcome to see if they work. Just like the Calvin and Hobbs comic said, I am sure a lot of these methods are for the entertainment of others.
Love you,
Mom
