Baby Language

A newborn baby may seem like a mystery to you where you don’t know how to communicate with them. But newborn does have a surprising ability to communicate. They will communicate with you by expressions and gestures. Try to understand the expression and gestures then you will understand what your baby trying to tell you.

If your baby eyes is widely open and he has worry expressions, he seem like having little effort to suckle and long pauses this show that the milk flow is insufficient. But if you feel that you have sufficient milk, then something wrong with your breastfeeding. Try to adjust the position of your breast in order for the baby to latch properly.

If your baby shut his eyes, show signs of sleeping but still firmly attached to the breast. This indicates that the flow of milk slowed down until baby fell asleep while waiting for the milk flow. Removing baby from the breast will make him start to root and fuss.

Baby pulling off the breast, screaming, flails arms, attempts to relatch. Baby is frustrated by the slow flow of the milk, but he is not rejecting the breast yet but may eventually do so if the flow remains at low level.

Your baby is sucking and swallows well for few minutes only then settling into a drowsy state. Normal and health baby will feed steadily until full as long as there is a good flow. If you need to keep on stimulate your baby to suck, this show that the milk flow is too slow. Newborns will suckle slow flowing breast for few minutes then become lazy.

Gripping on nipple but jerks head away from the breast showing the frustration towards the slow flowing milk.

Your baby is startled, eyes is widely open, show noisy gulps and almost no pauses. This shows that the milk flow is too fast. So hold the baby upright and try to lean after latching to make sure baby’s throat is higher than the nipple.

When your baby pulls off and relatches frequently and he does not maintain a deep latch, this baby is probably overwhelmed by the flow of milk. So the baby is having a shallow latch, in order to control the flow of the milk. The overflow of milk also cause milk drips and sprays each time the baby pulls away from the breast.

Baby show he is very hungry after the first breast but refuse when offered the second breast, the baby is most probably still hungry but the flow of the second breast is too fast and he prefer to latch to the first breast for more leisure feeding.

When the baby needs to burp? Some babies burp during breastfeeding and continue without a pause. Do not interrupt a feeding to burp the baby unless they seem uncomfortable where they are swallowing well but the upper body is wriggling or twisting.
