Signs that indicate when your baby has had enough food
Some signs are:
- Your baby turns his or her head away from the bottle
- Your baby spit outs or bites the nipple
- Your baby gets fussy or closes his or her mouth when you try to put the bottle back in
- Your baby falls asleep
Once a baby has had enough there is no need to encourage your baby to take more; your baby will get it at the next feeding.
