Name that Cue - Understanding What Your Newborn is “Saying”

If you wonder ‘why is my baby crying?’ or ‘how will I know what my baby needs?’, it may help you to know about newborn cues - the universal language of babies. Newborn infants display instinctive behaviors that help to communicate whether they are ready to play (engagement cues), ready to eat (hunger cues), or they're full, gassy, working on a bowel movement (poop cues), sleepy (tired cues), overstimulated (disengagement cues), in light or in deep sleep. Learning about cues, and responding to them promptly can help to reduce infant crying and help you feel like a more confident parent.
For lots more information on caring for a newborn baby, listen to my 20 minute podcast episode on the Transition To Parenthood podcast, or read the transcript at www.transitiontoparenthood.com.

This video, might be simple in design, yet it was the most memorable source of info I came across before having my baby. It helped me a lot as it's highly accurate. I still giggle when my baby has the 'mysteries of the universe' face

My little dude is just hungry and gassy, hungry and gassy all day and then sleeps like a rock a night (knock on wood), although he wakes up pretty early. We’re figerin’ it out tho, day by day, nap by nap. He’s growin like mad too, way ahead of the doctors’ schedule. They say we’re doing everything all right but it’s damn hard keeping up with him. I don’t understand how everyone does it. But I’m told it only gets easier, than goodness. 😅

@lisemartino1995 9 месяцев назад

As a doula (and mother), I can that this is SO on point! Thank you for this video, there are so many “bad” ones out there! Your baby is learning to poo, they’re not necessarily constipated! Mammas out there, second babies are there to make you question what you know - they are uniquely different, but you can work this one out too! Learning wind is particularly hard for breastfed babies, because it’s far less of an issue - but it’s still a possible issue! Overstimulation is the most distressing cry from your baby, but the hardest to spot as a new parent.

@francescacolella4789 2 года назад

Thank you for mentioning the option to hold baby bare bottomed over a toilet or sink. We do elimination communication so he poops either in his little potty or over the sink. I find it so counterintuitive to know your baby is about to poop or pee and just sit there and let them mess their diaper. Why not just put them over a potty to let them do it like that and save a diaper, reduce diaper rash, and save time? It’s so much more hygienic

I thought I had a colicky baby but it turned out that I wasn’t pumping the hind milk only fore milk. His poop was green colored instead of yellow. He wasn’t getting enough nutrition and he was super gassy. Once I fixed the fat content in the milk, then he settled down and stopped crying. It really depends on what works for each family but this helped the most for us.

My baby is 2 weeks old today and I’m still trying to figure out what she wants. This has been helpful!

@thackerybinx2637 2 года назад

At 10 minutes. Perfect example of babies don’t want to soil themselves if they don’t have to. They give you these cues so that you know the same for them to go so that you can take their diaper off and let them go and not have it get all over them. Just like any other animal they don’t want to soil themselves. It’s only when they get older and you’ve trained them to go in their diaper that they don’t hesitate.

@umiluv Год назад

Wish I had this video with my first baby! This video has been so helpful with our second. He’s a much happier baby because we can read his cues better. We’re also happier because we can understand what he needs.

@lllllllll1150 Год назад

I am not a parent, but I remember vividly seeing my nephew growing up and I am so glad that I was part of that journey. We shared such a strong bond and One thing I remembered so well that, his sleeping schedule was a bit off, but whenever I held him, he slept right on my arms. not only him, but mostly when I hold any baby, they sleep right on my arm. I wish I knew what makes them do that so. Also very informative video, hopefully one day I will need it for my own baby 😅

@priyankap5098 Год назад

Guess I already became an expert in handling the baby. I was able to guess most of them just right. I am a new mom with 6 weeks old baby. I came across all these cues before finding out this video. We just have to observe our baby to learn about them while they learn about us. 😊

@suew4609 11 месяцев назад

You can lay them over your arm like a football for a few minutes and then upright and patting them firmly, but not hard on the back. Some people tap them way to soft. My husband used to pat them low and gradually move up their backs. Try sitting up holding their head up, like in the video. Even massaging their back or tummy laying across your lap, then upright and patting again. As they grow it gets easier and soon they won’t need you to help them! You wrote this 2 mos ago, so I hope you are doing much better. Enjoy your baby, as they’re only babies for a short time😊
