🍼 IS MY NEWBORN HUNGRY? 🤔👶 Newborns can’t say, “Mom, I’m hungry!”—but they give hunger cues to let you know! Look for these signs: ✅ LIP SMACKING & SUCKING MOVEMENTS – Baby starts sucking on hands, lips, or anything nearby. 👄🖐️ ✅ ROOTING REFLEX – Turns head & opens mouth when you touch their cheek. 🚼 ✅ FUSSINESS & WHINING – Early hunger = small whimpers, late hunger = full-blown crying! 😭 ✅ CLENCHED FISTS & RESTLESSNESS – Baby may move arms & legs more when hungry. 🤲 ✅ SEEKING THE BREAST OR BOTTLE – Latches onto anything near their face! 🍼 💡 Crying is a LATE hunger sign! Try to feed before baby gets too upset. 🕰 HOW OFTEN SHOULD NEWBORNS EAT? 👉 Every 2-3 hours (or 8-12 times per day). 👉 Watch your baby, not the clock! ⏳ ✅ Signs Baby is FULL – Turns away, slows sucking, relaxed hands, or falls asleep. 😴 💖 A well-fed baby is a happy baby! Trust your instincts, Mama! 💕 #NEWBORNCARE #HUNGRYBABY #MOMLIFE #BABYONBOARD #BREASTFEEDING #FORMULAFEEDING #BABYCUES #MOMTIPS #PARENTINGHACKS #MOTHERHOOD
