[quote=Anonymous]Babies sometimes "root" when they're hungry- it looks like moving their mouth/head around looking for something to latch onto. Also, you'll learn his different cries - one for hunger, one for gas, one for wet, one for tired. You'll notice "windows" when it's easiest to put the baby to sleep. Keep in mind infants cry because the world is overwhelming and being a person is new and scary and hard. They are not meant to be out of the womb for the first three months - that's why it's called the fourth trimester. Figure he needs to eat every three hours. When putting him to sleep try to recreate the womb - black out curtains and pitch black room, white noise machine with whooshing sound, swaddle tightly because he was snug in your womb. Put him down drowsy. Keep your hand on his belly after you've placed him down so he feels the body heat of your hand for a couple minutes. [/quote]
