Breastfeeding is easier if you respond to your baby's requests instead of waiting for their demands.
Early Feeding Cues:
* Eyelids fluttering while sleeping
* Hands to face
* Mouth movements
* Rooting
* Whimpering

Late Feeding Cues:
* Tense mouth & body
* Fast breathing
* Crying

**Calm baby before latching after late cues. Remember, you are not a bad parent for missing your baby's early and mid feeding cues. You are doing the best you can.
