baby language

 At my Doctors appt/prenatal class, she showed us a clip from an Oprah episode. It was about this lady who had a photographic memory forsound and after having a baby, noticed that other babies cries were the same asher own baby... anyways, the point is, she put out a DVD about it. Its called 'Dunstan Baby Language'. Basically "Every newborn communicates from birth to 3 months using 5 distinct sounds that signal hunger, tiredness, need to burp, lower wind/gas and discomfort. This is regardless of the language their parents speak.It is not a learned language. Rather, it is a natural way for every baby to express their physical needs."

  I thought it waspretty cool, definitely something I am going to check out.

    I haven't heard of this, but I can tell you that even without a photographic memory for sound, after a few weeks with your LO you will hear a cry and know exactly what your baby is asking for :)

    Oh and I heard there is some crazy app that does the same thing now- recognizes a baby's cry and tells you what the baby wants?

    I have 4 younger siblings, I got used to hearing their cries and I knew what they were wanting pretty quick.

    I have not heard of that app! that sounds crazy, maybe i'll download it for DH just for fun. haha.

    I've heard of that. I think there's also some sort of devise that says it can decipher baby's cries; I remember seeing it on an episode of Bringing Home Baby.

    In any case, I agree with NFL_Wife that you'll soon learn to distinguish your baby's different cries on your own.

    Going to disagree with the both of you - I can recognize an "I'm hurt" cry, but have never been able to distinguish any others.
