Like what the rest mentioned, watch out for the early, mid and late cues. Some active cues include: - Rooting around on the chest of whoever is carrying him - Trying to position for nursing, either by lying back or pulling on your clothes - Fidgeting or squirming around a lot - Hitting you on the arm or chest repeatedly - Fussing or breathing fast (taken from: http://www.bellybelly.com.au/baby/baby-hunger-cues/) Just as important are cues that your baby is full: - Starts and stops feeding often, taking only a few sucks each time. - If breastfeeding, will unlatch often. - Slows down pace and may fall asleep while feeding. - Spits out or ignores nipple. - Fidgets or easily distracted while feeding.

I found this video on youtube! It pretty much echoes what has been said earlier but I think having a video like this can help new mommys identify the hunger cues especially if they are more visual people. From the comments made about the video, alot of moms seem to appreciate having a real demonstration of how babies look like when they are hungry.The cute baby footage are an added bonus!

Watch out for the early cues as that would be the time that you would want to prepare to heat up the milk or start feeding baby. They start to get a little more aggressive when approaching the late hunger cues. The transition from early to late hjbgrr cues sometimes takes only a few minutes.

• Rooting (searching for a breast) • Hand-sucking and hand-to-mouth movements • Increased alertness or restlessness Don’t wait for your newborn to cry. Crying is a late sign of hunger, and once a newborn begins crying it may take time for him to settle down and feed.
