According to studies, newborns may suck on their hands as an early cue to signal they are hungry. Other hunger cues at this age could include smacking or licking their lips and rooting. As your baby gets hungrier, hunger cues may progress to flailing their limbs, fussing, and crying. But it's not all about food.
