Because babies can’t say what they want, it can be hard to understand what they want They still haven’t developed their speech yet therefore it’s a parent’s duty to understand the cues they send, that suggest they’re hungry. Sometimes it’s hard to understand what they really want because some of the cues they give could indicate something else like the need for a nappy change or discomfort. And babies are different too so the signals can vary as well. It is very important to get ahead of this before the baby starts crying because it gets stressful from there. 

Although the list of signals is wide, these are the major ones you should know about.
