Newborn bottom lip quiver5/11/2023 Tracy Hogg, better known as “ The Baby Whisperer,” is known for her keen attention to baby cries and actions. It’s important to note that Dunstan’s theory has not been tested clinically and, adding to any potential confusion, others have developed their own ideas of what different crying baby sounds mean. Here Dunstan is on Oprah Winfrey demonstrating the sounds. When this happens, baby makes an “eh” sound, indicating they need to be burped. Eh: Excess gas may also get trapped in baby’s chest.This causes baby to make an “eairh” sound. Eairh: When excess air is trapped in baby’s system, the intestines tighten in attempt to release the air.“Heh” means baby is uncomfortable and might need a fresh diaper or outfit change (too hot/too cold). Heh: Dunstan says this sound is produced to communicate stress when baby feels skin discomfort.Owh: Reminiscent of the sound created by an adult yawn, “owh” means baby is tired. Neh: When the sucking reflex is triggered, the tongue is pushed to the roof of the mouth, creating the sound “neh.” Baby is hungry.She identified five different words or “sound reflexes,” each coordinating with a different need-hunger, discomfort, gas, sleep, and burping. She noticed that her own baby’s cries seemed to corresponded to particular needs. Priscilla Dunstan, a mother and former opera singer had a special ear for sounds. That said, some believe that different baby cries mean different things.
