Have you heard about this terrific tool for new moms and dads? I recently saw this lovely Australian mom, Priscilla Dunstan, describe her technique for communicating with newborns. She appeared on Oprah and shared the results of her research on the language of newborn babies. She listens to the time just before the babies start their full blown cries (what she refers to as the pre-cry) and has come up with a group of “words” or sounds that she says all babies speak.
This is fascinating! What a huge help this could be for parents of newborns!!
You can see her on Oprah’s website or you can buy her DVD called Dunstan Baby Language.
This DVD would be a great gift for families expecting a baby. It’s important to start listening for the baby language right after a baby’s birth. It’s best to listen and respond to the baby in those early months (birth to three months).
I know that when we were dealing with our first baby, we would have done anything to have a better understanding of what our baby was trying to tell us. Sure, we learned to distinguish the different cries of hunger and fatigue, but it would have been even better to respond to the baby and deal with the problems before she worked herself into a full blown cry.
Check this out. It could make a significant difference in a new parent’s life!
