Baby Language

OK OK OK......

I think that now with this info..mom and dad can understand what I want....What do you think?


"According to Dunstan, the five universal words (or sound reflexes) used by infants are:"

Neh
I'm hungry - An infant uses the sound reflex "Neh" to communicate their
hunger. The sound is produced when the sucking reflex is triggered, and the tongue is pushed up on the roof of the mouth.

Owh
I'm sleepy - An infant uses the sound reflex "Owh" to communicate that they are tired. The sound is produced much like an audible
yawn.

Heh
I'm experiencing discomfort - An infant uses the sound reflex "Heh" to communicate
stress, discomfort, or perhaps that they need a fresh diaper. The sound is produced by a response to a skin reflex, such as feeling sweat or itchiness in the bum.

Eairh
I have lower gas - An infant uses the sound reflex "Eairh" to communicate they have
flatulence or an upset stomach. The sound is produced when trapped air from a belch that is unable to release and travels to the stomach where the muscles of the intestine tighten to force the air bubble out. Often, this sound will indicate that a bowel movement is in progress, and the infant will bend its knees, bringing the legs toward the torso. This leg movement assists in the ongoing process.

Eh
I need to burp - An infant uses the sound reflex "Eh" to communicate that they need to be
burped. The sound is produced when a large bubble of trapped air is caught in the chest, and the reflex is trying to release this out of the mouth.




Mommy said:"If you ask me......they all sound the same..."
