Five year old daughter hiccups in her sleep

[rhianna_s]

Last night around 3am my five year old daughter woke me up with the hiccups (she was in bed with me). She was sound asleep and they lasted for about five minutes. I’ve never heard her hiccup in her sleep before - is this normal?? I stupidly googled and of course scary stuff is coming up! Has anyone else’s kids had hiccups in their sleep? I know it’s common for babies but not older children!

Any reassurance would be appreciated before I go terrorise our doctor!
