No, a hungry baby will find it difficult to sleep unless and until he/she is fed. When baby is well-latched and one can hear many swallows, one may notice after nursing for a while his body gets limp and he falls asleep. This is a sign that he’s nursing well. Just like signs of hunger, babies also provide us with signs that they’re ready to end a feeding.

These signs of satiety or fullness include: extended arms and legs, falling asleep, decreased sucking, extended relaxed fingers, turning away, and back arching. If the baby exhibits these behaviors after a good feeding session, on can be sure that the child is finished.
