Understanding Baby Cues 👶💬

Newborns can’t speak, but they do communicate — through sounds, movements, and facial expressions. Here's a simple breakdown of what common cues mean:

1️⃣ Hungry? 🍽️

Look for:

  • Lip smacking
  • Rooting (turning head to breast/bottle)
  • Hand to mouth 

👉 Feed before the crying starts!


2️⃣ Sleepy? 😴

Watch for:

  • Yawning
  • Rubbing eyes
  • Staring off or fussiness

👉 Time to wind down for a nap.


3️⃣ Uncomfortable? 🚼

Signs include:

  • Arching back
  • Squirming or sudden crying
  • Possible wet diaper or gas

👉 Check diaper, clothes, or try gentle burping.


4️⃣  Overstimulated? 📴

Look for:

  • Turning away
  • Crying despite being fed and changed

👉 Move to a quiet, calm space.
