Before the baby learns to speak, there are many needs that they do not understand how to express in words, and they can only tell their parents through facial expressions and crying. Many parents are worried that their negligence may cause their baby to go hungry. So how do I know if my baby is hungry?
When hungry, one will consciously lean towards their mother's chest. Because this way you can smell the fragrance of breast milk. If the mother gently touches the baby's lips with the nipple, the baby will immediately open their mouth and hold it. Listening to a baby's crying can also determine if they are hungry. When a baby is hungry, their crying sounds more like coughing, and the sound is light, rhythmic, and short. Sometimes I even put my hand in my mouth or lick my lips.
If the baby is hungry, it is easy for them to be in a light sleep state when sleeping again, occasionally opening their eyes wide and twisting their heads to look for food. If you accidentally touch the blanket, you will still use it as a nipple to suck. The baby's weight can also indicate whether the baby is full. If there is no significant increase in the baby's body size, it means that the baby is not usually full.
Parents must consciously cultivate their babies' eating habits and help them find their own biological clock. Set a time limit for breastfeeding the baby, even if the baby is not very hungry. When feeding a baby, it is important to ensure that the baby is full before ending the feeding process.
