These signals will come through in every behavior she demonstrates as you care for her. When you're on the right track, her face will be placid and content, her body will be relaxed, and her responses will be organized and predictable. When you're on the wrong track, she'll be disorganized and unreachable. She will avert her face from yours. Over a surprisingly short time, you will learn what her behaviors are trying to tell you.
Everyday activities offer opportunities for play.
Feeding provides a wonderful time to interact with your baby. During feeding she will start with a short burst of constant sucking. Very quickly, she changes to a burst-pause pattern. These pauses are a signal that your baby wants to communicate as well as eat. She is waiting for you to talk gently or touch her.
