baby talk

like many other people, i've always believed babies had their own language.  now that i have a baby of my own, i want more than anything to understand that secret language.  some friends gave us a copy of Dunstan Baby Language and i am elated to report that someone has unlocked the key to understanding what your baby is saying to you before they reach the hysterical crying stage.

Priscilla Dunstan has an amazing ability; she has a photographic memory for sound.  using this ability to recognize patterns in babies' cries, she discovered that ALL babies share a universal language based on reflexes and associated noise.  all i know is that since i've been listening for her "words"  Saraya has been so easy to console.  i no longer have to run through the entire list of things to check because she is telling me specifically what she needs.  i LOVE it!!

i wholeheartedly recommend Dunstan Baby Language!
