a baby language?


i watched the opera show yesterday with such amazement. she had priscilla dunstan on and they discussed priscilla's special ability as a mom to uncode the baby language of 0-3 month olds across the world. priscilla has broken down 5 basic 'sound reflexes' that babies instinctively make and what they mean:

neh = hunger
owh = tired
heh = discomfort
eair = lower gas pain (intestine/bowel)
eh = upper gas pain (burp)

these are sounds that priscilla and opera go over in better detail on the show, check out the link below. as of today there was a video clip included, but i am not sure how long opera keeps the videos on her site. enjoy!
