Dunstan Baby Language is also great for dads!
Pre-verbal speech therapist Annelies Schouten explains that Baby Language enables fathers to care for their baby from day one. Only when responding to “Neh”, the hunger cry, do breastfeeding fathers need their partner’s help.
Learn to recognise the sound babies make when they are tired
Youth health nurse Lillie Poppen often sees that parents do not recognise the signs of tiredness correctly. By recognising Auw—the sound of the sleep reflex—along with the visual cues, parents can put their baby to bed in time. This helps prevent overtiredness, one of the main causes of frequent and prolonged crying.
Babies burp throughout the day
Maternity nurse Ank Selders talks about “Eh”, the sound babies make when they need to burp. Babies do not burp only shortly after feeding. In fact, they need to burp throughout the day, especially shortly after feeding when they have been lying down for a while.
Baby Language for premature babies too
Pediatric nurse Marriëtte Bosman cares for premature babies in her work. After such a difficult start, it is wonderful when parents can learn to recognise the Baby Language sounds so they know what to do when their baby starts crying.
