How do we know that our baby is hungry? It’s not always as clear as we think. Here are a few indications that it’s time for a feed.

• Getting restless
• Making murmuring sounds
• Turning their head and opening their mouth (rooting)
• Licking their lips
• Sucking on fingers or fist
• Crying or screaming (the last cue)

It's best to try and feed your baby during these early feeding cues as a crying baby is difficult to feed.
