The secret Baby language: MUST read!

For those moms who are Oprah followers, this is not exactly a news flash as Priscilla Dunstan, a mom from Australia was on a couple months ago with her "Secret Language for babies" story.  I had heard of it with Jaime but never really put it into practice.  This time round I thought I'd give it a shot, and I have to admit it works. It’s a bit freakish really but it works.

According to Priscilla, you can determine why a baby is crying most of the time...really... its true. Babies’ cries are reflexes that are detectable in 0-3 month old babies. If not responded to, babies will stop using them.

Here is the clip from Oprah's show, its a 16 min clip watch it if you have time, other wise I suggest watching minutes 4-8 at the very least.  Trust me, you'll regret it if you dont! 

 

So the summary:

1. “NEH” means “I’m hungry” (the default cry lol)
2. “OWH” means “I’m sleepy” (this one I find really detectable which is always nice – nap time, mommy gets to pee and eat and if it’s a really good day, shower, although am getting used to my 2pm shower)
3. "HEH” means “Discomfort” ( either hot or cold or diaper change)
4. “EAIR” means “Abdominal Gas” (I need help with this one, cant seem to help my little guy with his gas, poor little man)
5. “EH” means “I need to burp” (this one I pick up often, which helps cause I know just what to do *yay*)

Why of why this is a kept secret I am yet to determine, I mean parenting is hard as it is!  Although am happy I discovered it and happy to pass on this true gem of a story!
