When you and your baby are learning how to breastfeed, it's normal to have lots of questions. Did you know? During the first week of life, your baby will be very sleepy and may not cry when they’re hungry. To know if your baby is hungry and ready to eat, follow your baby’s hunger cues:
- Sucking sounds
- Waking up
- Licking lips
- Hand-to-mouth movements
- Cooing or sighing
- Crying (a late feeding cue)
If you see any of these signs, it’s likely time to get your baby fed! 👶
