Dunstan Baby Language is for dads too!
Preverbal speech therapist Annelies Schouten explains that Baby Language enables fathers to care for their baby from day one. Only for the “Neh” hunger cry do breastfeeding mothers need their partner's help.
Learn to recognize the sound for tiredness
Youth nurse Lillie Poppen often sees that parents don't recognise the signs of tiredness. By recognising the "ow" sound—the sleep reflex—along with visual cues, parents can put their baby to bed in time. This helps prevent overtiredness, one of the main causes of frequent, prolonged crying.
Babies burp throughout the day
Maternity nurse Ank Selders talks about Eh, the sound for a burp. Babies don’t just burp shortly after feeding. They actually need to burp throughout the day, especially shortly after feeding, once they’ve been lying down for a while.
Baby Language for premature babies too
Children’s nurse Marriëtte Bosman cares for premature babies in her work. It’s wonderful when, after a difficult start, parents can learn to recognise the Baby Language sounds so they know what to do when their baby starts crying.
