Is a low, quiet wail with big gaps a tired cry? I have always suspected yes.

I read about this somewhere and I don't even have babies but thought it was interesting. Q pricey videos though.

It is jolly interesting but can't help being suspicious - could all be in the editing. If I had a baby I'd be interested in trying it out.

Dammit! dd2 is 16 weeks, why couldn't I have known this 16 weeks ago?

the baby whisperer has something like it but much more complicated. I tend to interepret every cry as hunger and have no idea how "eair" would sound. I wish that I had that one on the website.

Yup, this is amazing. Showed to dh who is also amazed and fascinated, and can't wait to try out theory on dd.

dd2, that is, who at six months still actually says 'neh' when hungry. Does that mean I listened to her and responded fast?

dd1 said 'leh' from the start, which sounds exactly like the French for 'milk' (lait). Either faulty sound reflex, or sheer genius (she's a quarter French)....
