You baby will show you when she wants to feed by:
- Putting hands to mouth
- Licking lips
- Squeaking noises
- Rooting (moving mouth and head as if looking for a feed)
- Turning head
- Mouthing Light fussing
- Eye lids flickering whilst asleep
Keep your baby close to you in the first days and weeks after they are born. This will:
- Help you get to know each other
- Make feeding cues easy to see
- Enable you to feed on demand
- Help your baby feel safe and cared for
