When I was a little kid, Daddy would lay down on the living room floor next to me and we would get rid of them together - he and I both had problems with them. He came up with a form of guided relaxation where I would imagine a ball in a tube from throat down to my belly button. The goal was to control bringing the ball up to your neck when you breathed out and down to your diaphragm when you breathed in - hiccups interrupted the game and you had to concentrate and relax to do it. Mind over matter. It also makes for a great little naptime.
