I think (with the first child anyway) its basically on the job training for 18 years. When I first saw my little grandson cooing away at his dad (my son) at approx 2 months old, I said "See that...you put in the time and its paying off. Making sure he's comfortable, caring for his needs..etc".
This is not medically based, but someone told me that the hiccups is the baby's way of preparing to breathe air.
