  • ️ Comfort feeding- Sometimes baby may seem like they are wanting to eat a little more even if they are not hungry.
  •  Short or non-existent sleep cycles- this can be a big sing that something is going on in baby’s nervous system.
  •  Abrupt crying during sleep- If baby is stressed their bodies are in a constant fight or flight response. This may affect their sleep cycle.
  •  Less eye contact- This can be a sign that there is a disconnect in baby’s nervous system not allowing proper communications to the brain.

What Can You Do?
