Babies get hiccups because they are extremely cute. Usually a little bottletime can help get rid of them. Not a very scientific answer but thats what I think when my little one gets them.

Usually babies swallow air during feeding, and if this swallowed air irritates the nerves of the diaphgram, then it results in hiccups. Dealing with hiccups is quite easy as it takes only few sucks of water from the tip of a soon.

Typically it is from a change to the diaphram...like maybe how they were lying when they had their last bottle...or perhaps didn't get that really good burp out afterwards. Some are just more prone to them as adults are. No reason...they just are. You can't really do anything to help them. They just have to ride it out. Hiccups won't hurt them...it kind of freaks them out.
All 3 of my girls had the hiccups while I was carrying them. That was always a trip seeing my belly jump....I always felt sooo bad for them in there.
