The five sounds in the Dunstan Baby Language are:
• “Neh” – meaning, “I’m hungry”
• “Owh” – meaning, “I’m tired”
• “Heh” – meaning, “I’m uncomfortable”
• “Eairh” – meaning, “I have lower gas”
• “Eh” – meaning, “I need to burp”
Have you ever tried this?
I remember hearing about this when I had my second child and it totally worked for me.
The other morning at 3 am when I couldn't seem to make my little guy happy,
I was so frustrated and tired.
(nights are never good because I am only half awake, so he never gets his needs fully met, poor little guy.)
I thought to myself, I wish I knew what to do to get him to be happy and to just go back to sleep.
That is when it came to me, I remembered, I needed to listen to his cry.
I quickly googled "baby cries meaning" and found this article by parenthood.com. All of the information comes from the Dunstan Baby website, for me the parenthood article was a perfect explanation from the website and the website was a little rough to navigate through to find the information I was looking for.
Every baby has their own sounds, that may not be identical to the before mentioned ones above, but they are similar. My little guy is very gassy and a lot of times he just needs to be burped or he needs help releasing his gas, instead of my immediate reaction to feed him.
So I hear a lot of "Eairh" and "Eh" sounding cries. If you have a baby 0-3 months of age listen to their cries, it is very interesting.
darn those gassy babies. who gave it to us. mom or dad? haha. i swear warren was the gassiest baby alive.. but kolt may just beat him.
