Signs that your baby is full after breastfeeding can include:
- Slowed Sucking and Swallowing: Your baby’s sucking may become less intense, and they may pause more often.
- Releasing the Breast: Babies often let go of the breast on their own when they are full.
- Turning Away from the Breast: Indicating that they are satisfied.
- Relaxed Hands and Body: Babies’ fists will unclench, and their body will relax when they are full.
- Falling Asleep: Many babies doze off after a good feed, indicating they are content. Paying attention to these cues helps prevent overfeeding and allows your baby to regulate their intake naturally.
