How does your baby tell you when she is hungry?
How does she tell you when she is full?
How does she tell you when she wants go to bed?
Of course, your baby doesn’t talk. But she has ways to show you how she feels and what she needs. Use these signs along with what you know about when she last ate and slept to figure out what she is telling you. It won’t be long until you know her well. Then you will understand better than anybody else what her signs mean.
I’m hungry
- Eyes wide and face bright
- Looks at your face
- Smiles
- Moves toward you
- Turns toward the nipple when her cheek is touched
I’m full
- Stops nursing
- Feels settled and relaxed
- Arms and legs stretched out
- Fingers spread out
I need to go to sleep
- Looks away
- Breathes fast
- Yawns
- Wrinkles forehead
- Face and eyes look dull
- Frowns
