Starring: Dunstan Baby Language

As announced in an exclusive interview on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Australian mother Priscilla Dunstan has the world talking with the discovery of the secret language of babies. This breakthrough in infant care is the result of one mother's intuition that began nearly a decade of investigation and international research. The Dunstan Baby Language DVD teaches parents the 5 cries all newborns use to communicate their everyday needs from day 1. You will know when your baby is hungry, tired, needs burping, has lower wind or is simply uncomfortable. By learning this System parents are able to settle their baby faster, resulting in happier babies who sleep longer and cry less - something every new parent would wish for.

Informative but pricey as new
I bought this product used. The information is VERY helpful for understanding the cries of newborns. I've lent the DVD to friends and they also love it! The full-price set is a bit expensive when you consider the length of the DVDs. (Quite short) I chose to buy a used copy. If I'd been a new mother on the verge of pulling out my hair, the new copy would have been worth the extra money (save on the hair repair bill...lol).

Eager
I will be a first time mother (due in 3 months ) and I first heard about this on Oprah. I thought it was interesting at the time. I just read a few of the reviews and I was a bit skeptical at first about purchasing the DVD because of the negative reviews, but then I thought about how frustrating things can be as a first time mother and not being able to understand what my baby will be trying to say. So I am actually looking forward to viewing it. Even if it is 15-20 min on 2 disc... I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run when I am up at 2 am in the morning trying to figure out why my baby is fussing and how to soothe her. Mother intuition is best above all which I'm sure will be acquired along the way, but every little bit helps. The price I thought was okay... since I was originally going to purchase it on DunstanBaby.com (56.00).

Great product!
I agree that the product is a little expensive and could easily have been formatted to one DVD. However, the information is priceless and SO helpful. Of course, you can successfully raise a baby without it. I purchased the DVDs just before my 2nd baby was born, and somehow seemed to manage ok without the DVDs with my 1st baby. However, it was a comfort to know what my 2nd baby was wanting and it definitely cut down on crying.

Priceless!!!!
This is fabulous. I used it for my second child and it really decreased the stress level of me and husband when our baby cried. She did do some variations, but all in all she followed the words on the video. I highly recommend this to any parent, first time or not! Although some think the price is high, understanding my baby and attending to her needs to me is priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!

Video lacks and is overpriced, but the info it contains works and is priceless!
We received this video as a baby-shower gift a few months ago. We were very skeptical thinking this was another "new age" crock-pot, this time from Australia. We watched it laughing about it, but told ourselves that once the baby comes we'll see if we can differentiate the sounds - just to be cheeky about it.

First night in the hospital, the "Neh" of a hungry baby was pretty clear and obvious. But then we noticed that indeed other sounds could be distinguished. Over the next few nights we listened for them and the baby sounds Dunstan talks about are on the money. As brand new parents of a baby girl, our first night at home was a bit unnerving. In the middle of the night our girl started wailing - and of course we had no idea why. We listened a bit more carefully and it sounded, based on the sample sounds we heard on this video, almost identical to what other babies screamed when they needed to be burped. So we tried to burp the baby - in less than 30 seconds she let out a belch and stopped crying.
Since that night - and it only has been a few nights - the sounds the baby is making are clearly distinguishable from one another and follow the pattern outlined in the Dunstan Baby Language video. Plus it's kind of fun to try to figure out what she wants - we've made it into a game of who guesses first.

So is this a review of the DVD or the idea behind it. Well, what's more important? Sure, the DVD is short - but it doesn't need to be any longer for you to get the idea of what it is presenting. The examples of cries in the DVD are very helpful. Sure the production is banal and the 'suggestions' on how to comfort the baby simplistic, but the idea behind the video is priceless.
We have been able to be much more responsive to our baby's needs and have benefited not only from much better sleep, but also a much happier baby girl.

dunstan baby languge
I loved this product. the video was really good at teaching me how to help my neice. I also gave one as a gift and she loved it. Her baby is a happy baby because of it. I would recommend this to any new mom who needs help understanding what to do when the baby cries. It was packaged nicely and very protected. I was impressed.

Didn't Work On My Baby
I saw her on Oprah and really really wanted to believe it was going to work. Sadly, it didn't work on my baby but I am thrilled to hear it's worked for other people.

My review of Dunstan Baby Language
I am a grandmother of 3 with number four on the way, due in June. I wish that we would have had this resource with the other 3 but I am very excited to have this information with number 4. I cannot wait to use these new skills with our new baby. I really like the part of the DVD that has different babies making the different sounds. Thank you.

Best Baby Shower Gift Ever!
This was a huge hit at a small-town baby shower I recently attended. Many of the other Moms were so jealous when she opened the gift. Most of them had seen the product on Oprah, but had no idea you could buy it on Amazon. I plan to purchase one for each and every shower I attend - this is such a great gift!

You are not alone!
As a first time parent you are typically discouraged by your inability to understand your baby's needs. This video not only gives possible solutions, but also removes the stress as you get to see that this is a pretty universal shortcoming of all parents of infants.
