The short is all about hunger cues in newborns and baby hunger signs. Some may call them infant feeding cues. These newborn hunger cues are key to avoiding a crying fit. By just taking note of these baby hunger signs, you will be on your way to a more peaceful day together.

1. Sucking on hands or objects: Babies often suck on their hands, fingers, or even nearby objects when they're hungry. This reflexive behavior is a way for them to soothe themselves and signal their hunger

2. Rooting Reflex: When an infant turns their head and opens their mouth when their cheek is touched or stroked, it's a sign that they're trying to find the breast or bottle to feed.

3. Increased Alertness: Hungry infants tend to become more alert and active. They may open their eyes wider, become more attentive, and display more movement as they seek nourishment.

4. Mouthing and Licking Lips: Babies may show signs of hunger by mouthing their own lips, sticking out their tongues, or licking their lips in anticipation of feeding.

5. Clenched Fists: Now this can be a sign of hunger. When coupled with arching and crying, can also be a sign on reflux and colic! Often when babies eat, you will see their whole bodies relax and they will release their fists.

6. Crying: You may not realize but crying is often the last sign of hunger, not the first! If none of the other cues of hunger have worked, then baby will start to cry

** PRO TIP- A baby that goes from 0 cues crying (0-60 as they say!) is showing signs of disregulation of the nervous system! A body worker is a great person to help with regulating them!
