( 4.3 / 151 )'Your Health With Dr. Rhonda Low', a health and medical news program for CTV Canada, featured an episode on Dunstan Baby Language. Our very own Sarah Alexander was part of the interview.

Some parents are trying out a new technique in the hopes of unlocking the meaning behind their infant's cry. "Dunstan baby language is a language that Priscilla Dunstan, from Australia, has deciphered the different sounds that infants make, so from 0 to 3 months," said Sarah Alexander, a Registered Nurse and practitioner of Dunstan Baby Language.
Alexander teaches Dunstan baby language in the Lower Mainland and says there are five distinctive sounds that babies make to communicate with their parents."The 'neh' or the 'nah' sound and it is based on the sucking reflex so the tongue hits the roof of the mouth," she said.
And when babies are tired, their mouth will make an oval shape and they will make the 'owh' sound. If they have upper abdominal gas, that is when the parent can try burping them. Dunstan baby language also identifies lower abdominal pain. When babies are uncomfortable, they'll make an 'heh' sound.
"So it is basically understanding what the baby is saying prior to that hysterical crying point and then hopefully they will not get there," said Alexander.
Liz Weir has been using Dunstan Baby Language with her newborn, Mason.
"It has been very calming because being able to understand what he needs gives myself and my husband a little bit more confidence," she said.
And the techniques appear to be working.
"To be able to communicate with an infant at this age was unheard of for so long ... see ... he needs to burp," she said.

( 3.4 / 41 )Close Up - New Zealand's highest rating current affairs programme presented an in depth feature on the Dunstan Baby Language DVD.
Close Up interviewed two New Zealand mothers who 'road tested' the Dunstan Baby Language with their new babies. One of the mothers said 'it saved her life'. She was amazed that once she learned what to listen for, she could hear babies 'talking' everywhere, "When I was at The Palms Shopping Mall I could hear all these other babies saying the Dunstan sounds".
Another mother who road tested the DVD found it harder to use the System. "Long periods of unexplained crying can be overwhelming," observes Dr. Maureen O'Brien, child psychologist and Director of Education for Dunstan Baby. "Anything which encourages parents to stop, take a deep breath and listen to what their baby is trying to communicate is a positive."
It is always great when mothers and fathers share their experience from learning the Dunstan System.
"Sometimes it takes parents by surprise to learn what their babies actually need," explains Ellesha Kirby, Marketing Director of Dunstan Baby, and features in the Close Up report. "Burping is a perfect example - we just don’t expect babies to need to burp as much as many do. We forget that they lie flat on their backs all day which makes it hard for them to get the air up themselves. When parents know what to listen for it can make all the difference to help settle their baby".

( 3.7 / 49 )During the last week of November we had the privilege of presenting the Dunstan System at the annual Zero-to-Three conference in Orlando, Florida. Zero-to-Three is the National Center for Infants, Toddlers and Families and is a key provider of training, support and leadership for Professionals working in this arena.
Dunstan Baby Director of Education, Dr Maureen O’Brien and Marketing Director Ellesha Kirby led a presentation to approximately 200 delegates to review the Language – its origins, research and implications for empowering families. The session received a warm reception, with many Professionals expressing their excitement about the potential of the Dunstan System.
The NTI was a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of the Dunstan System and begin a dialogue about the tremendous benefits it holds for mothers, fathers and infants. We look forward to exploring future opportunities to partner with Professionals to take our research in new directions.
We also always look forward to hearing Health Care Professionals' experience of the system - so please share your thoughts!

( 3.8 / 79 )At the start of August, Dunstan Baby attended the ABA's fantastic Expo and Conference "Hot Milk" in Melbourne. Many health care professionals attended our presentation which delivered the five ‘words’ and how Dunstan Baby Language can assist in the bonding between mothers and their babies.
It was invaluable hearing the feedback from Health Care Professionals, many of whom are already recommending the System, so their comments provided valuable insights.
The Australian Breastfeeding Association has now kindly hosted us in 3 cities around Australia so we'd like to thank them for inviting us to be part of the conferences – it's been very enjoyable!
