Watched Oprah Winfrey Show the other day and found out that babies all around the world has a secret language of their own.
Do you know that?
After testing her baby language theory on more than 1,000 infants around the world, Priscilla says there are five words that all babies 0–3 months old say—regardless of race and culture.
Those "words" are actually sound reflexes, Priscilla says.
"Babies all around the world have the same reflexes, and they therefore make the same sounds," she says. If parents don't respond to those reflexes, Priscilla says the baby will eventually stop using them.Priscilla recommends that parents listen for those words in a baby's pre-cry before they start crying hysterically. She says there is no one sound that's harder to hear than others because it varies by individual. She also says some babies use some words more than others.
"The constant crying creates a lot of stress and frustration for these moms. "You just feel absolutely helpless. You want so much to be the one to comfort them and to kind of shelter them from whatever they're feeling," says new mom Danielle.
After Priscilla explains the cries, the moms are shocked to learn their babies are actually talking to them! After two hours with Priscilla, all nine babies are comfortable, happy and quiet."Who would have thought that all of our babies are trying to tell us something and we just didn't know it the whole time," says Erica, another new mom.
"So it's amazing."

Hey Sayang Mommy,
Sorry, I thought you are Diyana. *malu*
Guess you know each other then? Thanks for dropping by my blog :D
I think it's quite true.. As parents, esp mothers, we really need to listen to baby's cues.
Hey, I read through some of your posts.
If you are based in KL, you may want to try this Chinese Dr that I used to see when I was trying for Zara.
We tried for 5yrs, and almost wanted to go for IVF but finally thought of waiting for a year and tried Chinese herbs instead. Believe it or not, I got pregnant after a month having her herbs.
You can read about my journey in trying to get pregnant and finally having Zara here : http://mytwogirls.net/?p=105
