Your baby is talking to you.  Now you can understand.

As a child, Priscilla Dunstan demonstrated an unusual talent for sound. Her father, a lecturer at the University of New South Wales, realized Priscilla had a photographic memory for audio patterns. But it was not until she heard her newborn baby crying that her gift took on a profound new meaning: where others heard cries, she heard a language. Then, after almost a decade of research and independent observational studies conducted internationally on over 1000 babies, these sounds were formally classified, confirming that they had a precise meaning — ultimately, a universal language shared by all babies regardless of race or gender.

Dunstan Baby Language first appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in November 2006. For the past decade, thanks to Priscilla’s unique gift, parents throughout the world have been experiencing the benefits of understanding the cries of their newborn baby. By understanding the meaning of their cries, parents are able to settle their babies faster, resulting in happier, more contented infants who sleep longer and cry less.

The “Words”

Newborn babies use specific sounds to express their basic needs: hunger, tiredness, need to burp, lower wind and discomfort. Dunstan Baby Language teaches parents how to identify these needs through their infants’ cries, enabling them to respond quickly and effectively. This knowledge takes the guesswork out of parenting a new baby, and helps parent’s builds confidence in their ability to care for their newborn.

The System covers the 5 “words” that babies use to communicate their everyday needs. These “words” are based on physical reflexes. For instance, when a baby is hungry it starts to suck and as sound is added to the reflex, the “word” for hunger is produced. Dunstan Baby Language is the first System that has identified these specific sounds and their meaning.

“Nothing is as thrilling as becoming a new mom,“ says Maureen O’Brien, PhD, child development expert and best selling author of Watch Me Grow: I’m One-Two-Three. “And nothing is as daunting as having a crying newborn. Mothers everywhere know the feeling of enormous love and responsibility that is the hallmark of becoming a new parent. The Dunstan Baby approach has the enormous potential to help all mothers and fathers better understand their newborn’s cries and set each family on the path toward less stressful, more enjoyable parenting.”

Key Figures and Statistics

Observational research was originally conducted with over 1000 babies, including observation of footage taken from countries across the globe. Independent research* conducted in 2006 in Australia and the USA confirmed the existence of a universal baby language, with profound benefits:

• 90% of users reported the System as valuable and would recommend it to other parents
• 70% find their child settles down faster after using the System
• 70% feel more confident as a parent
• 50% reported unbroken sleep for themselves and their baby
• 2 out of 3 non-gestational parents also reported reduced levels of stress, greater involvement in the baby’s care, and more positive relationships with the birthing partner.
