Cue to Feed
The question about the cue to feed was added after the first interview. Nine mothers reported that their baby had a combination of a verbal and physical cue to breastfeed during the night. One mother goes on to explain, “Well she starts stirring in her sleep and I wake up right away before she wakes up…then she fully wakes up and starts whimpering and whining for a snack and then she gets fed and falls back to sleep while she is eating.” Two mothers reported physical cues from their child to breastfeed. A mother described, “He grabs for my breasts.”
