How can I tell if my baby is full? Your baby’s appetite will be different at each meal, so you can’t tell if your baby is full based on a strict amount. If your baby leans back in his chair, turns his head away from the food, starts playing with the spoon, or doesn’t want to open his mouth for another bite, this is a good indication that he is probably full. Sometimes babies don’t open their mouths because they haven’t finished their last bite, so be sure to leave enough time for your baby to swallow.
