How do I know what my baby wants?

Understanding your baby's language – without words 🍼

Many parents wonder in the first few months: "Why is my baby crying now?" or "Is it hungry – or is it tired?"
Don't worry: Babies do talk, just in their own unique way. And the more you listen and observe, the faster you'll understand what your little one needs. 🧡

👶 Babies communicate – from the very beginning

Just a few weeks after birth, every baby develops specific sounds and movements to express its needs. Typical signals include:

• "Näh / Neh" – Hunger 🍽️
  The mouth moves in a searching manner, often accompanied by smacking sounds.
• "Ohh" – tiredness 😴
  The sound resembles a small yawn – often accompanied by rubbing the eyes or turning away.
• "Uh" – feeling unwell 🤷
  The baby squirms, pulls up its legs or pushes them out – a sign of stomach ache or a full diaper.

🧠 The body also speaks

Besides the sounds, body language also reveals a lot about the baby's feelings:

💞 You don't have to know everything perfectly.

It's important to understand: No baby manual in the world can replace your gut feeling.
With each week together, you'll become more confident – ​​and your baby will realize that you're listening.
