Does your baby “give you the raspberries”? That is, does he sputter with his tongue and lips? This is sometimes a clue that he has eaten enough food for now. Watch carefully for signals of “I’ve had enough.” Your baby may cry if you stop feeding him when he is still hungry. When he’s hungry, your baby will probably follow the food with his eyes.
