Dunstan Baby Language

[Charlotte91]

Anyone heard of this??

What are your thoughts??

We listened for these sounds....my hubby got really into it. Seems to be accurate...helped heaps! We never actually bought the cds, we saw her on telly and he wrote down each of the sounds (words) and what they meant. Didn't take us long to hear them and recognised them.

Great tool to have in your parenting kit!

I like it too. I watched it on youtube and go to the website to try and figure out what DD wants.

Mind you, she's in bed crying atm and I've no idea why she's wailing!!

Sounds tired to me, so I'm just going to leave her for a while.

I was incredibly suspicious of it when I first heard of it and I found that with my first child I didn't need anything like it as she was pretty straight forward to look after.
DD2 was a whole different story with wind issues and a much more challenging tired signs.

I found the DVD at the local library and decided to give it a go. I was really pleasantly surprised at how much sense it made - plus, it worked a treat! I was able to recognise really quickly when DD2 was needing to burp, hungry, or just needing to get a fart out without having to waste time. It did make caring for her much easier in those early months.

We found it really helpful, mostly with the different wind cries as we had big wind issues going on for awhile there. I will admit that I'm not sure if I would have forked out the $ for it, we borrowed it from my sister! It helped us alot, but you will find people say you will tune in to your baby anyways, with or without dunstan. I'm sure this is true too, but what's the harm in watching it and taking from it what you like? It helped us as overtired frazzled first time parents.

We found it really helpful too. I didn't buy the DVDs, just read the info on the website. DD had a lot of reflux and wind issues and her tired signs weren't obvious so it was helpful to know what sounds to listen for until we got to know each other better.

I borrowed it from our local library and we also looked at it online (a friend sent us the link). We found it really helpful and it worked for us so I'm certainly happy to recommend it to friends and to look it up when we have no 2 in the future to refresh my memory

Another one who didn't buy the package, but did find it useful. My MCHN gave me a handout, and i googled and listened to you tube stuff. We could hear 3 sounds clearly, but the hungry 'Neh' one was most obvious.
