Bro I feel you I’m 19 just got my new born from the nicu after a long three months from being a premie now looking lots videos to learn my son and understand him so when he cry’s I know what to do even after I did.the check list
Kisha I did my new born dose everyone one of these and by time passes u know what he wants now every baby is different but it’s not hard to learn ur baby’s needs congratulations btw
Disengagement cues are the one area that SO many people ignore at their peril. It happens so often because babies are entertaining and adults get so caught up in the "playing" that they don't notice that baby is OVER it.
marie watson many, of most are unaware of the roots of their own behavior. They’re not going to figure out a babies needs. They just get older and learn to speak. Eventually their automated parenting becomes less damaging
@@drangeathomas3127....no this is not so true. Many parents are first time moms and dads and they waited 9 months or I should say 10 month if you add up all the weeks to meet their baby. Getting caught up in the beauty of their creation is something you look forward too. So no their not self centered and only thinking of themselves.
@@bumblebee0369 How many babies have you attended the births of? It's 38 weeks from conception to birth. 11 out of 12 months are between 30 and 31 days. That does not add up to 10 mos. Doctors say 40 weeks; because they count from the menstrual period that occurred before the couple ever had coitus.
The cues never end. "I don't like that food" cue is you get a lapful of babyfood. Or they spit it back. The projectile vomit is exciting too, especially when you're running behind anyway and now you need different food, clean up baby and mess and change clothes. Then...they start contemplating the universe...🥺
Thank you for the effort you put into sourcing and editing all of these into one video. It's really helpful to see the same cues being done in slightly different styles by different babies. Such a good video. Thank you!
Yeah. I agree. This is really well done. I'm going to be a father in the next week or two and this is the most useful video I've come across. I'll need to watch it a few times to fully remember the queues properly. But I knew most of them from helping raise my brother and sister.
Thank you for your calm and really great explanations. From what I've seen on TH-cam, many parents do not have a clue, and some seem to think their child is there for amusement purposes.
@ A. GM That's so true! Babies are developing individuals, with their evolving sensibilities,personalities, likes, dislikes,etc. Boundaries are very important for babies to have too. Well said👍
Best time of my life being a Mother! Knew the answer to all of these. My son turns 18 on Friday, can't believe it all went by so fast. To all of you new parents, don't fret over the small stuff. Enjoy every single solitary moment, it all goes by so very fast. When that time is gone, it's gone. Life is just way to short, and none of us know how long we have. Don't forget to tell everyone you love that you love them, every day! Thanks for the video, quite enjoyable.
Beautiful video. Trying to find a video to show to my multi-cultural childbirth class participants that is relateable. So grateful that you included babies of varied cultural backgrounds.
Not only is this a fabulous video for new parents, it’s a great refresher course for we new grandparents. I feel it’s important to be on the same wavelength as the parents and to support them in their endeavors. I wish we had had something like this when I had my kids!
As a father of a newborn boy, I’m glad to say I had a good hunch upon what these cues were. Watching this video helped reassure me. Thanks! Everyone give Axel Matthew a warmmm welcome 🥰
I watched this video 2 times. Once when I was pregnant and the other post delivery. I can say my perspective changed from the first time, this video is accurate and informative! My baby does all these cues and im glad I know what to do now.
I wish I could somehow push this video to the top of every expectant and new parents view list. I wish I had this as a new parent. It's so clear, so helpful, and so nonjudgmental while still being so human that I can't imagine anything else being better for a new, anxious parent in full panic mode trying to figure out what to do.
From the day my parents brought me home from the hospital, they started reading out loud to me. My dad used to head his pilot training books to me! Obviously I didn't understand anything at first, but this activity really helped me to talk early. My sister as well. When my sister was 2 a woman in the story pinched her cheek and said, "Aren't you adorable!" My sister (remember, she was 2) responded, "Please don't annoy me." People, don't touch other people's babies. They may not be able to express themselves. but it really is annoying. Babies start learning right from the start. Probably even *BEFORE* the start, and they are developing very fast. They start out with way too many connections, but starting from that first breath they start trimming out those connections that aren't used. This is why neglect and abuse are so devastating. You need to engage socially with the child from day one if you want those social connections enforced. If they are lost then the child will never be able to connect properly with others, leaving them at a huge disadvantage for the rest of their lives.
My mom always read anything and everything to us and we are all avid readers, except the last one. Mom went back to work and didn't read as much to my youngest brother, unfortunately he is all but illiterate.
Same with me. My mom always read to me for hours when I was small.in fact it caused me a lot of trouble in school. I was already reading at a 6th grade level in third grade, and the teachers wouldn't make any effort to accommodate my skills. they insisted that I should read James and the giant peach, when I was already reading oliver twist! School went downhill from there unfortunately. Just didn't play well with others I guess.
My grandson was two when I showed him off to my friends. He muttered, “don’t you touch me!” As my friend stuck out her hand to touch his cheeks. I was so embarrassed. My grandson’s IQ is tested at 132.
@@helenmak4569 Why would you be embarrassed by a child expressing a wish not to be touched? I wonder why so many people feel this need to touch babies. Do you like being touched by random strangers? Why would anyone think babies would enjoy it?
im so happy to be dad soon. this had me crying cus i know all these. i had three little sisters that i basically raised. stop cutting onions, i just came here to brush up.
For the first cue I held my niece (who is Japanese and I live in Japan) and repeatedly said hello in a happy voice and face, she copied my voice as well as she could, which was amazing!
This is an excellent video that I’ll be saving and watching with my partner. We just found out we are expecting. He knew I was pregnant right away within the first couple weeks.

It feels really good this time around. My first pregnancy i was a senior at a new high school in Las Vegas, in a new state, away from my friends in Southern California where I grew up & had many excited friends awaiting baby. The students and teachers were more or less mortified and scandalized by seeing me fully showing walking down the halls everyday trying as hard as I could to graduate early in time for baby in February. My teachers used to make an example of me in their teaching. I remember my math teacher saying she wouldn’t give me special treatment when I asked to be assigned the back row pull out chair & table when my big belly couldn’t fit in the standard desk.

He never gave a solid reason how we could make the relationship improve or cultivate more love & trust between us but we were just kids trying to both do very grown up things. He got to come home in time for me to deliver. My daughter was 3 weeks late. I love how everything happens for a reason that makes sense in hindsight. “Divine timing” I call it.

I’ve decided to invite my beautiful 13 year old daughter, who has been my light & my blessing since birth, to be involved in the pregnancy & in the whole experience. Seeking her insight about baby names, paint colors, decision making, and the birth if she wants to attend & if the conditions are appropriate. That turned in to a novel which wasn’t my initial intention but I felt prompted to share this story because there are ~ 9 billion different pregnancies & birth stories existing on the planet right now and yours is also unique. Sometimes our conditions are hard & feel so out of our control. We don’t understand in the moment *why* events unfolded as they did but just know that there is a divine plan for you & your babies & your partners. We are all spirit souls coming to this life to have a human experience & evolve. Be well & ask for help when you need it. And love your babies with everything you have.
I am doing this for my fourth time, but it has been six years between and I feel like a noob again. This was encouraging and let's me know, I am not as far off as I thought. Really good refreshers.
Wish I found this sooner, my baby is nearly 5 weeks and I’m a first time mum so I’ve been worrying about not doing it right. It’s good to be reassured that I’ve been mostly on the right track with these cues and even better to have a better understanding of the others I’ve been worrying about :) thank you this video is super useful.
I find it funny how I can name all the cues and I don’t have kids on my own. I work as a nanny and even before then I believe I knew baby cues before they even start..which makes me so ready to be a mom lol
Thankyou this is the most educational video i have watched my baby boy is 4weeks old and i have seen all those cues,well i missed most of them but am a first time mommy its good to learn something new everyday so that i take it easy on myself .
THE BEST NEWBORN COMMUNICATION VIDEO EVER! Awesome work. Do one about cries; runty exhale cry for an uncomfortable diaper, sharp pain cry, shrill angry cry cause regular cries weren't responded to appropriately, weak sickly cry for beginning of an illness or headache, and red-in-the-face-out-of-control-gonna-make-momma-crazy-cry-cause-baby-is-way-too-overtired-so-you-need -to-walk-away -from-that-full-shopping-cart-and-get-that-baby-home-to-bed-right-now! cry. Understanding cues and cries are important to recognize so that you can plan around your baby's food and sleep needs. Booking doctor appointments and grocery shopping will go SOOOOO much easier if you have learned your baby's general timings so that you are home and undistracted at these crucial times, (which change month to month as they grow).
Why people keep stimulating a newborn when there sleeping is stupid and not right and just mean. There only messing up that child’s sleep cycle and making it harder for baby as well as themselves to get them back to sleep and get enough sleep.
I wish I had watched this video before the baby was born. That would have helped us a lot! I mean a lot！Now the little boy is almost 7 months. We learned the hard way.
I'm lucky I was able to determine what my first was trying to tell me constantly. He hardly ever cried and everyone would say how pleasant he was, maybe he was so pleasant because I knew his cues so well and was able to give him his needs. For me, all the cues seemed like common sense and I honestly don't know why people have a difficult time deciphering them but this video does a good job at informing those who need it and I'm glad I found it so that I can pass it along to expecting new parents. 😊
Congrats!! I think most people don't take the time to learn, if they don't already intrinsically know. Most babies don't have to be that fussy if you lay attention to them!
I’m only 4 months pregnant and I can’t wait to meet my little one. I don’t have any experience with kids but I managed to guess the cues and resolutions spot on. I’m happy to learn what to do because I am a little worried about being a first time mommy
We all are. Good on you for preparing! No one has the foggiest clue about how to parent. Before you are taught how to play basketball, it's hard to do that well, too, isn't it? Unless you have younger siblings or cousins who you observed being parented, you can't expect to know a thing. There's a great deal of excellent information on TH-cam but be sure to choose wisely - many on here have no experience, but still think they can 'teach' others. :/
Thank you for telling parents to soothe and bounce tired babies. Not to be "put down while drowsy." Babies need love always and need soothing to sleep. ❤ Adorable babies. Good info!
I am in the stage of life that grandkids will be coming soon. I saw this video and remembered all of the clues when my kids were babies. I loved all of it and now watching this video for grandkids I look forward to experiencing it as a grandma. Wonderful informitive video.
It’s interesting to see how the needs of the baby come second to parents’ need to take a video. Parents do not even realize what they are doing. Instead of taking a video of what the baby needs (and laughing), give the baby it’s needs. I was so sad when I saw the mother laughing while her child was trying to find a source of food. On the other hand, all the videos where perfect for this purpose. Thank you for the info!
I was answering before the question was asked. Such a sweet video! I wish people having babies would watch more things like this and read and read and read but they just assume they're going to know everything. Of course we have instincts but I've seen people that are so lost when they're babies and their baby is so frustrated and I just want to go over and take it and say here I'll come them down. And then the kids that are a little bit older are getting yelled at because they're frustrated with the baby. You think by the third or fourth baby people would want to understand these cues that to me just seemed natural to know but it's not natural for everyone. Especially when you're still having trouble with your third and fourth child. Again thank you
0:55 Considering that *EVERYTHING* the see or hear or smell or touch is brand new, it's no wonder new borns look like that. Imagine how you feel when you see something unlike anything you have seen before, that is how new born babies feel *ALL THE TIME.*
This is so helpful! I’m 6 months pregnant and, although I’ve spent years working with elementary & preschoolers, I have absolutely no experience with babies.
One year on I’m sure you’ve discovered you learned your babies cues naturally without the need of a video. I know I did, but it’s fun to see this and be reassured I’ve read them correctly.
Thank you so much for this video. This video is really informative for first time parent. I've watched this video over and over again still learned a lot. Now my baby is 6 month, still feel lucky that I find this video.
Excellent video thankyou. I have a 1 month old baby girl. I've watched this video twice so far. It's really helpful and I'm sure I'll be watching it a few more times
Thank you thank you for this video! My baby is four weeks old and I truly believe this video will help me to quickly determine what he needs throughout the day before he gets too upset. Watching this video on repeat to engrave it to my mind lol.
As the father of a grouchy 2 week old searching for information late at night, I thank you for your video. Fantastic tips.
Congratulations!!

And people change over time & with experience.
I’ve decided to invite my beautiful 13 year old daughter, who has been my light & my blessing since birth, to be involved in the pregnancy & in the whole experience.
Seeking her insight about baby names, paint colors, decision making, and the birth if she wants to attend & if the conditions are appropriate.
That turned in to a novel which wasn’t my initial intention but I felt prompted to share this story because there are ~ 9 billion different pregnancies & birth stories existing on the planet right now and yours is also unique.
Sometimes our conditions are hard & feel so out of our control. We don’t understand in the moment *why* events unfolded as they did but just know that there is a divine plan for you & your babies & your partners.
We are all spirit souls coming to this life to have a human experience & evolve.
Be well & ask for help when you need it.
And love your babies with everything you have.
This video has helped me so much. I'm a single mother with my first child.
How has the last year been?
Much support in the next years
This is the best video I have seen yet
Lea Nyland say that again
Agreed. This should be shown in antenatal classes.
My baby as a newborn was lifting his own head off the bed
I am doing this for my fourth time, but it has been six years between and I feel like a noob again. This was encouraging and let's me know, I am not as far off as I thought. Really good refreshers.
despite the helpful observations, . . l'm having difficulty gettin over how CUTE THESE BABIES ARE :o)
Every new parent needs to watch this. Thanks!
I'm a mother of many and a grandmother of even more.....this video is spot on!!!!
Thank you for giving ppl a source of reference that is so useful!!!!
Wish I found this sooner, my baby is nearly 5 weeks and I’m a first time mum so I’ve been worrying about not doing it right. It’s good to be reassured that I’ve been mostly on the right track with these cues and even better to have a better understanding of the others I’ve been worrying about :) thank you this video is super useful.
I wish I had seen this before my baby was born! He is now 4 weeks and I’m going to try these tips. Thank you!
As a crazy 1st time aunt of a 1month old baby I thank you for creating this video
I would add when they are tired and fussy, take them in a dark room. It helps calm them down & provides cues that it's time to sleep (like at night!).
I find it funny how I can name all the cues and I don’t have kids on my own. I work as a nanny and even before then I believe I knew baby cues before they even start..which makes me so ready to be a mom lol
Babies are so precious and they are totally worth protecting and dying for😍
Thank you! I'm expecting my first baby in June, and this video made me feel instantly more prepared!
Me too! June 29th :)
Me too! 😀
I had my first in June aswell 💕 congrats I hope all went well!!!
Thankyou this is the most educational video i have watched my baby boy is 4weeks old and i have seen all those cues,well i missed most of them but am a first time mommy its good to learn something new everyday so that i take it easy on myself .
This is an AMAZING video! My baby is now 1.5 and all of these signs were there! Sending this to all my pregnant friends!
What different is it than us adults? Overstimulation makes me wanna cry and scream too
Yeah, babies need some time out too.
true
@@calirose4525 Same
I thought it was just me
THE BEST NEWBORN COMMUNICATION VIDEO EVER!
Awesome work.
Do one about cries; runty exhale cry for an uncomfortable diaper, sharp pain cry, shrill angry cry cause regular cries weren't responded to appropriately, weak sickly cry for beginning of an illness or headache, and red-in-the-face-out-of-control-gonna-make-momma-crazy-cry-cause-baby-is-way-too-overtired-so-you-need -to-walk-away -from-that-full-shopping-cart-and-get-that-baby-home-to-bed-right-now! cry.
Understanding cues and cries are important to recognize so that you can plan around your baby's food and sleep needs. Booking doctor appointments and grocery shopping will go SOOOOO much easier if you have learned your baby's general timings so that you are home and undistracted at these crucial times, (which change month to month as they grow).
I think it’s so damn cute when they go for anything to latch on. Hungry and cute always.
11:47. Think I lost my hearing.
Why people keep stimulating a newborn when there sleeping is stupid and not right and just mean. There only messing up that child’s sleep cycle and making it harder for baby as well as themselves to get them back to sleep and get enough sleep.
why does this channel only have 3.2k subs they deserve more for their effort. the actual footages is a great help
The real fun begins when they have poop cues and hunger cues at the same time
bedlamitejester what’s “sleeping formula” and where can I get it?!?! 🤣
bedlamitejester
Spoken like an experienced parent!!
So true 😂
Or when they wake up into extremly hungry in 2 Minutes.
Yeeeees...I was about to write "what about mixed expressions?"
7:30 I still give all these cues, and I'm 49. But usually, no one is around to see them.
The most useful video I have ever seen for how to understand baby!
Great video. Mother of 4 with a 3 month old here. Spot on advice in a easy format. Thanks.
I wish I had watched this video before the baby was born. That would have helped us a lot! I mean a lot！Now the little boy is almost 7 months. We learned the hard way.
I'm lucky I was able to determine what my first was trying to tell me constantly. He hardly ever cried and everyone would say how pleasant he was, maybe he was so pleasant because I knew his cues so well and was able to give him his needs. For me, all the cues seemed like common sense and I honestly don't know why people have a difficult time deciphering them but this video does a good job at informing those who need it and I'm glad I found it so that I can pass it along to expecting new parents. 😊
An eye-opening comment
Congrats!! I think most people don't take the time to learn, if they don't already intrinsically know. Most babies don't have to be that fussy if you lay attention to them!
True. Once I knew his cues, I realized that he was not collicky. I just didnt know how to communicate with him.
I’m only 4 months pregnant and I can’t wait to meet my little one. I don’t have any experience with kids but I managed to guess the cues and resolutions spot on. I’m happy to learn what to do because I am a little worried about being a first time mommy
We all are. Good on you for preparing! No one has the foggiest clue about how to parent. Before you are taught how to play basketball, it's hard to do that well, too, isn't it? Unless you have younger siblings or cousins who you observed being parented, you can't expect to know a thing. There's a great deal of excellent information on TH-cam but be sure to choose wisely - many on here have no experience, but still think they can 'teach' others. :/
Thank you for telling parents to soothe and bounce tired babies. Not to be "put down while drowsy." Babies need love always and need soothing to sleep. ❤
Adorable babies. Good info!
I am in the stage of life that grandkids will be coming soon. I saw this video and remembered all of the clues when my kids were babies. I loved all of it and now watching this video for grandkids I look forward to experiencing it as a grandma. Wonderful informitive video.
It’s interesting to see how the needs of the baby come second to parents’ need to take a video. Parents do not even realize what they are doing. Instead of taking a video of what the baby needs (and laughing), give the baby it’s needs. I was so sad when I saw the mother laughing while her child was trying to find a source of food.
On the other hand, all the videos where perfect for this purpose. Thank you for the info!
I was searching for this. Well said! How foolish it is to stand there and do nothing while a baby cries out in vain
I wish I had these videos when my daughter was born. She 21 now and survived with out all this help !
As a first time mom, this video has been really helpful to me. Thanks a lot.
I was answering before the question was asked. Such a sweet video! I wish people having babies would watch more things like this and read and read and read but they just assume they're going to know everything. Of course we have instincts but I've seen people that are so lost when they're babies and their baby is so frustrated and I just want to go over and take it and say here I'll come them down. And then the kids that are a little bit older are getting yelled at because they're frustrated with the baby. You think by the third or fourth baby people would want to understand these cues that to me just seemed natural to know but it's not natural for everyone. Especially when you're still having trouble with your third and fourth child. Again thank you
I say, this is really helpful. Thank you to them who made it and ofc to the one that shared it too. GBY.
0:55 Considering that *EVERYTHING* the see or hear or smell or touch is brand new, it's no wonder new borns look like that. Imagine how you feel when you see something unlike anything you have seen before, that is how new born babies feel *ALL THE TIME.*
I was so happy I got most of these correct. This video was very helpful. Thank you for using real videos. :)
A very informative video for new and to be parents. Thanks
I'm having my first baby in about two weeks. This video was very informative. Thanks!
Great video, I wish I watched it 7 months ago when I was struggling with my newborn...
This is so adorable I'm melting
This is excellent. My baby is 35 now but everything here is spot on.
very helpful , after I let my baby listen to the narrator's voice she immedietly fell asleep
I have a week old baby. Thank you so much, so far your explanation was the most helpful
Omg this is one of those perfect videos that I’m going to refer to always. Thank you!
Thank you for this video i have a 1 month old and still in the process of knowing each other. Very helpful all the way through
First time parent (to be) in about 3/4 weeks. Very helpful thank you.
Have I told you lately that I love you!! This video is perfect. Helpful. Concise. Warm, funny, friendly. THANK YOU!! I am def sharing.
Thank you!
This helps, and I managed to recognize a few of the cues.
Our little one is coming soon, and I really want to be ready.
Thank you again!
This is so helpful! I’m 6 months pregnant and, although I’ve spent years working with elementary & preschoolers, I have absolutely no experience with babies.
This is such a great, comprehensive video! Thank you!
This video is really helpful. I'm currently pregnant with my first baby. Thank you so much for putting this together.
Great stuff. Confirms and helps me see even more cues. God bless your efforts
I'm trying to focus but the cuteness is getting to me.
Of all the parenting and new mom hack videos I've been watching this past week this has been the most helpful.
Amazing video for an exasperated mother. 😊 thank you
Wow! This is AMAZING information! Thank you soooooo much! Now my Hubby and I can know how to keep our sweet baby happy once she's born!
One year on I’m sure you’ve discovered you learned your babies cues naturally without the need of a video.
I know I did, but it’s fun to see this and be reassured I’ve read them correctly.
Thank you so much for this video. This video is really informative for first time parent. I've watched this video over and over again still learned a lot. Now my baby is 6 month, still feel lucky that I find this video.
I’m watching this and I’m not even having a baby lol
Jasmine B same lol
Same
Well we've all been there :)
Me neither, but its good to learn about this kind of stuff.
Same, but I want to have a baby one day which is why I'm watching it lol
Excellent video thankyou. I have a 1 month old baby girl. I've watched this video twice so far. It's really helpful and I'm sure I'll be watching it a few more times
Loved that dad’s singing at 13:55
Best video about newborns cue I have ever seen
Thank you thank you for this video! My baby is four weeks old and I truly believe this video will help me to quickly determine what he needs throughout the day before he gets too upset. Watching this video on repeat to engrave it to my mind lol.
Thank you so much for sharing the information along with the videos. Extremely useful
This video is right on - i am living this right now
Excellent, clear video thanks. Very useful as I learn the cues of my 1 week old baby girl.
Thank You So Much For This Video. From parents of a 25 days old newborn
