Newborn baby’s cues

🍼 Hungry?
• Rooting (turning their head looking for the breast or bottle)
• Sucking on hands
• Opening their mouth
• Becoming restless

🥶 Cold?
• Cool hands, feet, or chest
• Pale or mottled skin
• Fussiness
• Trying to curl up tightly

😢 Uncomfortable or in pain?
• A cry that sounds different from usual
• Arching their back
• Pulling their legs up
• Difficulty settling

😴 Tired?
• Yawning
• Rubbing eyes or ears

The more time you spend with your baby, the better you’ll get at understanding their little signals.
