Signs That a Baby Is Hungry

16 January 2010 284 views No Comment

Some new parents have a tough time figuring out when their crying baby is truly hungry.

The Nemours Foundation says these are signs that a baby wants to eat:

* Turning the head from side to side.
* Opening the mouth and sticking out the tongue.
* Putting hands, fingers or a fist in or near the mouth.
* Puckering the lips.
* Turning to the mother’s breast.
* Moving the mouth in the direction of something that’s touching the cheek (the “rooting” reflex).
