5 words all new babies use - interesting

[trulyscrumptious43]

I saw this clip yesterday (it's from Oprah) about a woman who has those extra sensory skills (seeing texture/colour when people speak etc).
She has studied babies, starting with her own, and identified 5 separate words/sounds all new babies make at the beginning of crying which helps to tell you what the problem is.
I darn well wish I'd known this when mine were small.
I hope it can help someone out there, and would be interested to know if it does.

Dd is 11.5 weeks and cries often and easily. Going to look at this later as all I hear is Waaaaaaaaaa but that's because at same time I have ds2 clinging to me shouting "mummy I need yooouuuu"

Oh interesting. Too late for me, but I. Going to send the link to SIL

Just watched it and it the pre cry and makes sense

at "you can't have any milk unless you say "neh"

And it sounds a bit like "meh" which makes me think of babies doing gallic shrugs to our confuddlement of their needs.

This seems to be fairly accurate for us though sometimes DD does say Neh when she's actually just been fed and is just tired and fighting sleep!

Seeing words/colours etc when people speak is, I think, 'synethseisia' (sorry if the spelling is wrong). I have it, and as far as I've learnt the connections are the same for the individual throughout their life (for example, for me, words beginning with 'A' are always green); but for another they are different and just as consistant. (God I wish I could spell).

As to the rest I couldn't say.
