<< There may also be cultural interpretations of when a baby is "hungry"
or "wants" to breastfeed. What one woman sees as a cue of hunger may
be taken by another to mean that the baby needs to be cuddled,
changed, walked, talked to.... >>
Do you agree that the same cues may have different meanings as baby grows?
For example, I tend to tell new parents that for a *newborn*:
"Squiriming, Stretching, Squeeking......Sucking, Smacking, Searching"
means BF the baby.
For an older baby, these cues *may* mean something else, ie teething.
