Baby Talk

I found this video the other day and was amazed by what this woman has discovered about infant communication. I very interested in her theories, so I listened very carefully to her explanations about how babies communicate with us. If you watch this, in particular pay attention to the "whys" of the babies' sounds.
Yesterday I was at the store, and I heard a baby start to fuss. I remembered this video, so I began to listen to see if I could identify what the baby was trying to communicate. Then suddenly I heard the "neh" as clear as day! I think this is amazing information, especially for parents of babies. (or in my case, future grandparents. :)

There is a popular book on this subject that I once gifted to an expectant mother who continues to thank me for that, even now after over a decade!

How interesting! It should help prevent stress in both parents and babies, thus leading to better outcomes emotionally and physically as the babies mature.

I was very tuned in to my babies when they were little. My bond with them was very strong
