My daughters first word was 'neh-neh' - which meant she wanted to nurse - she was around 3 months old she STILL says this! A woman on my baby support boards said her son also calls nursing 'neh-neh' I can vouch that this works.

I was suspect of it at first when my wife showed me the oprah episode. Being the suspicious one I tested it over an over again--BUT IT WORKED. And I could hear the words from other babies too. We just had no.2 and we're going to try again. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. But I'm willing to try. This worked on our first born two years ago.

I watched that episode when my child was one month old. Ava said "NEH" and "EH" and it worked like a charm. Ava is now 19 months old and even still sometimes she will wake up and scream "NEH". Even if you don't believe it is all about listening to your baby and understanding their needs. BULL! I watched that episode when my child was one month old.

The lady who developed that "Baby Talk" concept is Australian (where I'm from). She's been exposed as a fraud and a charlatan. So, don't bother. Hi, I just happened by your website.

When they are first brought home we don’t have a clue what is going on with them, but in just a few short weeks most moms can pretty well figure out whether it is a hungry cry or sleepy cry,etc. Reading Rookie Moms, led me to watch an amazing clip on Oprah’s site. Priscilla, who has studied over a thousand babies from different cultures and languauges, says that all babies make 5 sounds and they have specific meanings.

I'll have to wait and try it on my next baby, as my youngest is too old for this, but it's really interesting in terms of what it implies about baby brain and cognitive development.
