Baby cues

All babies give cues to how they’re feeling and what they need from you. Each baby develops its own mix of signs to tell you what they want. Eventually, you’ll get to know your baby’s individual cues and what they tell you about your baby’s feelings.

As you and your baby get to know each other, you’ll figure out the best way to respond to your baby’s individual cues too. For example, your grizzling baby might look relaxed when you smile at them, or they might seem to like it better when you sing and talk to them. This helps you know how to respond the next time they grizzle.
