Baby Talk

AMAZING!!! Priscilla Dunstan, a mother from Australia (who happens to have a photographic memory for sound) has discovered that babies have a common language. She was on Oprah today and I think her findings will change the world! She said that all babies use the same five "words" to communicate.

  • Neh="I'm hungry"
  • Owh="I'm sleepy"
  • Heh="I'm experiencing discomfort"
  • Eair="I have lower gas"
  • Eh="I need to burp"

They showed clips of babies making each of these sounds and I totally recognized them from when my kids were newborns. She has a new book coming out on November 27, and from what I saw on Oprah I would recommend it to all women who have or are thinking about having a new baby. I'm just blown away. It almost makes me want to have another baby just so I can try out her method!

I was totally going to blog about this when I saw this on Oprah... it was very interesting. I think most of my blog readers read your blog so I won't, but I'm glad you did! Anyway, like they said it or may not work.. but it is a nice concept. I am expecting and think I will buy the book.
