Crying Baby? The Secret Meaning Of Those 5 Sounds

0-2 Months

As parents, we may feel extremely frustrated when our baby is crying and we cannot understand why…

Thankfully there is a way to learn and understand what your baby is trying to tell you.

Each baby is born with several newborn reflexes… some of which affect the way they cry.

A very talented Australian opera singer, Priscilla Dunstan, was able to identify 5 different crying sounds… and unlock their secret meaning!

Her discovery was actually studied across the world and confirm that, all newborn babies (0-3 months of age)… actually speak the same language 🤯

With a bit of practice, you too will be able to identify and understand what your baby is trying to tell you.

Here are the 5 sounds that Priscilla detected:

  1. Neh – Hunger 
  2. Owh – Sleepy
  3. Heh – Discomfort
  4. Eair – Lower gas
  5. Eh – Burp

Now… the best way to learn these sounds… is to hear them for yourself. 🎧 😉

Here is a hilarious interview between Priscilla and Oprah, where she reveals and explains each of them: https://youtu.be/afMNp6Q4u7s

Be sure to track when your baby cries to spot any patterns.

For example, maybe your baby gets:

  • Overtired and needs to go down for a nap
  • or gets hungry after a certain amount of time between feedings
  • or tends to get gassy at certain a time of the day

ParentLove’s dedicated Crying activity has been designed to help you capture all the important details and spot patterns.

I hope you find this fascinating newborn language as helpful as my husband and I did… it really changed the game for us!

Lots of Love & Happy Parenting! 💕
