Cry Baby
Tuesday, January 05, 2010 by Jeannie Fleming-Gifford
Babies and crying. Yep, it's a given. They go together.
Of course, there's nothing quite like the sound of a newborn's cry. The exhilaration of hearing your baby's first cries is like no other moment you will ever experience.
Yes, crying can be a beautiful thing.
For a few minutes.
Then, I'm done.
How about you?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all understand what our newborn and young infants were trying to say each time they cried?
Holy cow, it would have definitely saved me a few sleepless nights.
Well, you may be in luck. I've come across Priscilla Dunstan, an Australian who thinks she has cracked the code of understanding a baby's different cries. She got my attention when I heard she had been on Oprah...and then I looked a little further and found this video on YouTube:

If Dunstan's method is correct, I know a lot of new mamas (and daddys too) who will be getting a few more winks of sleep in those early days.
Enjoy!
