Understanding Your Baby’s Hunger Cues: A Key to Breastfeeding Success

In today’s video, we’re diving into:

  • Why feeding on demand matters – and how it helps create a smooth breastfeeding journey by responding to your baby’s natural rhythms.

  • Recognizing hunger cues at each stage: early, middle, and late

  • Responding confidently to these cues so that feeding time is calm, comfortable, and satisfying for both you and your baby.

Feeding on demand, tuned into your baby’s cues, supports bonding and helps build a steady milk supply.
