"Feeding cues" refer to signals or signs that a baby or person gives when they are hungry and ready to eat. These cues can include things like crying, putting their hands to their mouth, or making sucking motions.
Watch for early feeding cues rather than following a rigid schedule and offer the bottle before the baby is too hungry. (breastfeedingtoday-llli.org)
In this period mothers need to recognize and respond to early infant feeding cues and confirm that the baby is being fed at least 8 times in each 24 hours. (breastcrawl.org)
Offer the second breast if baby is still awake and showing feeding cues. (womenandinfants.org)
