According to Dunstan there were five very specific pre cries. These are the noises you baby makes before they are totally freaking out.
"Neh"
The hungry cry. This sound is made sucking reflex is triggered, and the baby pushes it's tongue on the roof of the mouth.
- "Owh"
- Sleepy cry - This sound is very similar to a yawn
- "Heh"
- I'm not comfortable - This sound is exactly what you think it is and usually (at least with my daughter) is very repetitive.
- "Eairh"
- Lower gas - An baby uses this sound reflex to say they have an upset stomach.This sound and the "Eh" sound below to me sound very similar so when I hear either one I think belly issues, bowel issues or burping issues and that sorts out the problem.
- "Eh"
- I need to burp - Babies use this sound to say I need to burp but like I said it is very similar to the "Eairh" sound so if you hear the E noise try anything to relieve the discomfort of gas, burping or pooping issues.
- Priscilla had began a clinical trial of her hypothesis with Brown University but abandoned the trial for consumer surveys and a small group observation. She claims that she wanted to increase the speed to which she could bring this information to consumers and moms. Unfortunately, this has brought a lot of criticism from the medical world who prides itself on thorough testing and feedback.
- In my opinion her hypothesis is spot on! I can't tell you how much this helped me with my daughter during her first few weeks and I wish I had this information with my son. I highly recommend watching this video it really helped me and many of my Momville mommies with our little babies early on.
