Recognizing Hunger and Fullness Cues
Your baby is becoming a better communicator, and learning to read their cues can make feeding more intuitive. Look for signs like rooting, sucking on hands, or smacking lips to signal hunger, and watch for relaxed hands or turning away to indicate fullness.
Hormonal shifts may cause emotional highs and lows, but regular feeding helps release oxytocin, stabilizing your mood and deepening your bond. Your breasts are also becoming more efficient, adjusting supply to your baby’s established patterns.
