Breastfeeding

Do formula-fed babies feed on demand?

Hi Andrea,

yes, regardless if breastfeeding or formula feeding you should look for signs of hungry or satiety.

Signs that babies are hungry include:

moving their heads from side to side

opening their mouths

sticking out their tongues

placing their hands, fingers, and fists to their mouths

puckering their lips as if to suck

showing the rooting reflex (when a baby moves its mouth in the direction of something that’s stroking or touching its cheek)
