When he wants me, he cries "Maa" which I think is only a coincidence in its similarity to "Mama." I've noticed some others too! He has a specific way of cooing to DH and to I, that is distinctly different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-newborn-have-their-own-language#post-814781 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:57:54 +0000 aprk 814781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A definitely has distinct cries. It's fairly easy to tell what he wants, thank goodness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-newborn-have-their-own-language#post-814687 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:15:08 +0000 emg86 814687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's not crazy, we've seen similar patterns with our 3 week old. We watched Dunstan baby language and learned about the different cries/sounds and what they typically mean. Her hungry sound is also "neh" and she has very distinct sounds for when she's gassy or needs to be burped and a sound for when she wants me to pick her up and hold her. When we first watched the video I thought it was a little crazy, but we started paying closer attention and realized that for us it was working, especially when she's gassy and uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-newborn-have-their-own-language#post-814662 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:04:16 +0000 loveisstrange 814662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Thats what I was going to post! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-newborn-have-their-own-language#post-814660 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:03:13 +0000 hilsy85 814660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IRQc2hOiKE" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IRQc2hOiKE</a></p> <p>Have you seen this? I think she does describe the hungry cry as neh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-newborn-have-their-own-language#post-814657 Wed, 29 May 2013 08:01:36 +0000 Arden 814657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this might sound a little crazy, but I think my two month old is talking. Not in English or Albanian (the two languages we speak to her in), but in her own baby language. From her first week I started noticing a specific cry when she was hungry that sounded like "neh".<br /> Over time she has developed distinct names for other things, and I'm beginning to understand her "words".</p> <p>I'm "ahwoo". It's clear and distinct and the same every time she calls for me. DH is "bwah". Her wubbanub monkey/pacifier is "Eggeh". </p> <p>I've tested my theory, handing everything except "Eggeh", including other pacifiers, when she's asking for it. Nothing makes her happy until I give her Eggeh and then she grabs him and is satisfied. </p> <p>Am I losing it, or does my baby have language?! </p>
