There are times when you wish you could work out the meaning of baby crying sounds, right? Wouldn’t it be great to be able to unlock that code book and understand this secret language.
Well you won’t want to miss this episode because you can now unlock the meaning of baby crying sounds and the code to this secret language.
Some months ago, I read about the research of Dr Priscilla Dunstan, an Australian paediatrician, who developed the Dunstan Baby Language system (also known as DBL), who has been featured on shows including Oprah.
The Dunstan Baby Language helps you to identify a number of different cries so you don’t have to keep guessing, including:-
- A hunger cry
- A gassy cry
- A sleep cry
- A discomfort cry
In this episode, I speak with Dunstan Baby Language Educator and Trainer, Sonja Preston. Sonja de-mystifies the meaning of baby crying sounds for you and tells you all about this fascinating language.
