being a new mom I was shocked that this was actually true. All babies say the same 5 things from birth to 3 months and will continue to say them if they are responded to correctly. for more info go to oprahs website and type in baby language. Worked for me Has it worked for you? NEH means hungry - HEH means i am uncomfortable - EH means I have to burp - ERR means i have low gas pains - OW means I am tired.

iI watched that show a couple of weeks before I had my baby girl, and it really helped, particularly the "I'm hungry" sound, which she still makes. It really was a life saver for a first time mom like me, I also made my husband watch the tape, and he learned the different sounds as well, so now we both know what our little one is trying to tell us and we don't waste time getting her what she needs!

i watched the bit on the website and they aired a similar program featuring the Dunstan baby language story here in Australia. I have a 4 week old boy and i have been listening out for the sounds but the only one that i have happened to catch was the EH - and he did need a burp - even when i know he is hungry i dont seem to be able to hear the NEH they all sound loe ERRRR to me. I will continue trying but am glad they worked for someone - i am inspired to listen more intently now - although i must say that usually my baby is hungry so far he doesnt seem to have other complaints

I have a 4 month old, and those words are fading, but for three months they helped me a lot. Especially the hungry and gas sounds.
Another helpful resource for b-3m for me was The Happiest Baby on the Block.
Those two things put together really helped us out.

I looked up that site and found it quite fascinating! I've never even heard of the Dunstan baby language. Will it work for a 4month old? My twins are 4 months. They are sleeping right now, but when they wake up, I'm going to do my own study to see if it works!
