Someone on the Babies board mentioned the Dunstan Baby Language DVDs the other day. These videos supposedly explain how to decode your baby's cries. I didn't want to spend money to buy it, but I was able to find some info on You Tube. I watched the video a few days ago and I've been trying to decode Carina's cries since. I'm sort of amazed at how well it works for some of the "words".
There are 5 baby "words" described in the video:
"neh" which means "I'm hungry".
"owh" which means "I'm tired".
"eh" which means "Burp me".
"eairh" which means "I have gas".
"heh" which means "I'm uncomfortable".
I can easily identify the "neh" and "heh" words when Carina says them, but the rest elude me. DH is completely skeptical and is currently making fun of me as I type this :)
Has anyone else heard of this? Have you tried it with your baby?

4 words of geekdom:
I want to start listening for these. I think it's really interesting. Tom teased me mercilessly for even considering it...
I have a friend who swears by it. She was supposed to lend me the DVD's 3 months ago when I had my baby, but I'm glad you linked it. I will definitely be looking for those 'words'
I have heard of this! There's a great Pregtastic podcast on the subject, where they go over the different cries. Very interesting. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I'm curious about it.
Carina is super cute!
I saw the same video. It's legit for sure...but it's hard to hear unless you're a natural (like that women) or you practice a LOT (and who likes listening to the baby cry????) Keep at it, it works, I was able to get 3-4 of them consistently with my little girl but I realized quickly that I had already decoded her cries and stopped trying to fit them into a catagory
