Infant talk - Dunstan Baby Language

Tweet

Good thing I've heard about this video from Priscilla Dunstan when I gave birth. I came to know that baby's cries have meaning. I listened carefully when she cried. At first it was very hard to distinguish. But then, after concentrating and continuous practice, my daughter and I was really communicating. neh or nah means hungry owh= tired; needs to sleep eh= baby needs to be burped eairh= air in lower intestine heh= change nappy, or change position My baby was windy and colicky that's why she always said "eh!" and "eairh!" It's best to detect the sounds during the first few months, 0-3 months because if the baby realized that you don't understand what he/she is telling you, he/she will eventually stop using those words. Those "words" are actually sound reflexes. But when the baby feels that you're communicating, she will continue using them.
