 Topic: Baby Words

Watching Oprah, and this Australian woman reckons babies have 5 words, they had babies to prove the theory too, so freaky. The weirder thing is that I've actually heard these words myself with Cooper. Cooper is just sitting here watching it, like he understands...
Neh - Hungry
Owh - Sleepy
Heh - Discomfort
Eair - Lower Gas
Eh - Burp
They only apply to babies from 0-3mths.
Anyone else watching it?

yep. I can recognise those sounds for sure. Wish I'd known about that 7 months ago!

Me too.
She's got a DVD too which could come in handy for new mums. Her name is Priscilla Dunstan (Baby Language), so I guess you'd just google her.

DVD's called Dunstan's Baby Language.
I borrowed the DVD from a friend when Eden was first born and really didn't find it all helpful.

Yeah I remember seeing it the first time it was on and also recorded it..Found it fascinating! Will have to see if it works with baby #2 cause Alyssa was a little older when I saw it.

Samantha most definitley made all of those noises. I saw it on Oprah (must have been this time last year) and although it took some listening to recognise the sounds, once we had it made our lives soooo much easier. Sam went from being quite a grizzly baby to a very happy, calm baby.
They also said that if you learnt to recognise them and responded then babies tend to keep using them up until 6-9 months. Definitely true for us
 Sam still mades the 'Heh' sounds when she needs to burp.
