I don't know when to stop during a meal. What signs tell me my baby is full?

Reading fullness signals is hard at first for every parent, but gets easier as you know your baby better.
Most common signs your baby is full:
- Sucking pace noticeably slows, with long pauses between sucks
- Turns head away from breast or bottle
- Closes mouth or pushes away
- Body relaxes, hands open, drowsy appearance
- Starts playing with breast or bottle instead of seriously feeding
For breastfed babies, letting them stop when they want is most natural. For bottle-fed babies, observing these signals rather than forcing the last drops is healthier — babies self-regulate naturally.
AAP recommends trusting babies' own hunger signals and not forcing them to finish. Proper weight gain and adequate wet diapers (5-6+ per day) mean your baby is getting enough.
If your baby is gaining weight steadily, don't worry about portion size—fullness cues are your best guide.
