Thanks Mrs S for that info. I will be sure to check it out if you have had success with it. I have heard something liek this being spoken about on Oprah before. I thought it was an Australian lady who came up with it but maybe there are others.
I agree, I was given a copy before MJ was born and watched it a couple of times before while i was still pg (in the last 4 weeks i think)
Anyway, thought that i would take it with a pinch of salt, wasnt sure if t would really work...
Fast forward to 3 hours post c/s (emerg) i am alone in my room (its 1am) with my baby and she starts making noises, eh eh eh, suddenly i remember that this meant uppper wind, i carefully pick up my new bundle and she burps almost immediatly. i give her a quick cuddle and put her back down and we both go off to sleep.
I really had no sleepless nights other than when my milk came in, she was staving (neh neh neh all night long, she was trying to tell me) but the milk wasnt soming for her. I managed to know 90% of the time what her problem was and address it before she started to get upset... but week 4 i had DH, my sister, my Mum and Dad all trained and they too knew what she needed.
It was brilliant, i swear that this is why she slept through early and she is sooo incredibly content.
by the time that their noises change (around 3 months) i had figured out what she needed and i changed with her.
Alibaby - she is Aussie and it would have been what you saw on Oprah
I recommend watching it before giving birth if possible so that you know what to listen out for.
I used this dvd as well and it made life as a new mum so much easier! Baby was very content as his needs were met quicker!
I recommend it to everyone but it only works properly if you learn the signs your baby gives you from birth...their crying pitches change as they get older(like around 3months)
I saw her on Oprah too and it looked great! I was a bit skeptical but when I read more about it it made sense because it's because of their reflexes, like the sucking reflex they use when they're hungry changes the sound of their cry. I'm going to get it!
i agree with shoegal, if you can borrow it i would as it is rather expensive...
MJ prodominently made the neh, eh and ow sounds, i think that they dont necessarily make all the sounds, she rarely made lower wind, probaby cos i sorted upper wind, so thats why there was no 'aireh' and rarely 'huh' cos she was not often uncomfortable...
Oh im so glad some mummies have already put it to use!
I totally agree too that they dont make all the sounds but i guess its just more of a guide. Adam doesnt make the "ow" sound, he makes more of a "ware" sound when hes tired, but you get to know.
And yes hes doesnt make the lower wind sound much either because i always get the wind out when he starts the "eh" sound for upper wind.
I might put a link to this thread in the pregnancy section so mummies can read all about it before they give birth
