30-12-2009 - Passing this along to all new parents

My mood while writing this blog: content

---

Saw this blog on the site and decided to pass it on and post it so when my little baby is born I can look back at it and see if it's true!!

PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL NEW PARENTS!!!

These words are reflexes that occur automatically during the first three months. The first three words are the most important and common.

1) NEH: "I'm Hungry"

- When hungry your baby will say 'neh' or nah'. You are looking for the N part of the sound. As with all words, 'neh' is easiest to hear when your baby is in the pre-cry phase before s/he starts screaming.

2) OWH: "I'm Tired"

- This sound is created when sound is added to the yawn reflex. Your baby's mouth will also be oval shape while saying 'owh'.

3) EH: "I Need To Be Burped"

- Start burping your infant whenever you hear 'eh'. You'll know when to stop because baby will stop saying 'eh'.

4) EAIRH: "I Have Gas"

- If you responded to 'eh' whenever you hear it, your baby will have less lower-wind gas. If you do hear 'eairh', you can offer relief through baby massage.

5) HEH: "I'm Uncomfortable"

- This could mean your baby is hot, cold, needs to be changed, ect. Do what you can to make baby feel at ease.

But, remember that baby is still figuring out what pain goes with what problem so they may think they're hungry but it is in actuality a trapped burp that's hurting their belly so if one doesn't work try the other.
