These are all normal phenomenon. Unless he is crying a lot or very uncomfortable, no need for treatment. Give colic drops if groaning continuously. Visit a pediatrician for check up

Hi. There are few hunger cues that you need to know. Early cues of stirring, mouth opening and turning head. Mid cues of stretching, hand to mouth and increased physical movement late cues of agitated movements, crying and baby turning red. This can be a hunger cue. Address at initial cues itself
