Researcher discovers universal baby language 10.25am Friday December 1, 2006
A newly discovered baby language is helping infants sleep through the night and mothers bond with their babies...
Dunstan says babies produce the different sounds depending on their needs. 'Neh' means the child is hungry, while 'owh' indicates he or she is tired....
Other sounds include 'eh', 'eairh' and 'heh', which mean the infant needs burping, has wind or is uncomfortable..
Independent research of Dunstan's system, which observed 400 mothers in Sydney and Chicago this year, found 90 per cent of all mothers thought the system beneficial. 70 per cent reported their baby settled faster and 50 per cent said they felt a greater bond with their child.
