the claim

Having hiccups is a sign that a child is growing.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that having hiccups is a sign that a child is growing?

Partly. Two sources report hiccups being regarded as good for or a sign concerning a growing child, but one is a 1962 ethnographic account of a folk belief and the other a fragmentary book index; a Cleveland Clinic article instead describes infant hiccups as normal and harmless, not a growth sign. No source establishes the claim as a medical fact.
