From the very first days, babies communicate long before they can speak. Their tiny gestures, facial expressions & sounds are their way of telling you what they need, how they feel & what they enjoy. Learning to read these cues, builds a strong bond & supports healthy development.
Common Baby Cues include:
Crying - often signals hunger, discomfort or tiredness.
Eye contact & smiles: signs of engagement & connection.
Movements & gestures: Reaching, waving arms or turning away can show curiosity or overstimulation.
Sounds & Coos: Early attempts at communication & expressing emotion.
Why It Matters:
Responding sensitively to your babies cues, strengthens trust, nurtures emotional wellbeing & supports brain development.
Every moment of attuned interactions helps your baby feel seen, safe & understood.
Remember, every baby is unique - learning their individual signals takes patience, observation & love.
