Can your baby feel hungry?

Silly question but lately I haven't been eating and when I do there small snacks or meals every 3-4 hours.. I always feel starving I just can't get myself to eat.... Can a baby feel the pain of hunger ?

Yoir baby can feel pain yes but hunger pain? They don't know what that is yet. Everything they need comes from the blood supply in the umbilical cord. If you feel hungery tho I'd eat something filling like potato or bread ya know something small but filling

No, baby takes what he/she needs from your body. You're the only one that feels the hunger.
