Hunger cues during sleep

[Perplexed]

When my LO is cluster feeding I tend to either mostly keep her on my lap or next to me in bed (but I'm fully awake).

Sometimes she nurses for a few minutes and falls asleep. Then in her sleep I see her making the suckling motion with her mouth so i pick her up and offer her the breast but she is too sleepy and doesn't take it.

Do hunger cues while sleeping mean that she's hungry and I should wake her? Or is she just dreaming? Kind of confused!

Thanks ladies.

My lo still occasionally does this when hes fallen asleep on the boob. She isnt hungry likely dreaming.

i thought it was probably just a dream!

one time after bf'ing she fell asleep and started suckling (boob was not in her mouth lol!) and then stopped and smiled. i thought it was cute!
