The Dunstan-baby method

Last week I got a telephone call from a journalist from a Dutch Newspaper, the 'Algemeen Dagblad' .
She was looking for a baby in Rotterdam that was just a couple of weeks old. She wanted the parents to study two DVD's that explained the 'Dunstan-baby-method'.
And then the parents had to act according to the Dunstan-baby-method. This method is badsed on the fact that you can identify 5 different sort of baby-cries. Each cry is the pronounciation of a small word.
For instance you have the 'Neh'- word (I'm hungry). When your baby cries you can identify the word 'Neh' in his or her cry.
The same thing is possible for the word 'Eh'(I want to be burped) , 'Owh'(I am tired, put me to sleep),'Eairh' (I have stomach pain) and 'Heh' (I am uncomfortable, too warm, too cold, dirty diaper....).

















So I studied the dvd's and by now we can identify the 'Neh' en 'Eh' sound and sometimes the 'Eihr' and 'Heh' sound in the cries of Gaizka.
And yes we can practise enough........

Next week I will get an interview and they will make some photo's of Gaizka. 'His first 15 minutes of fame' !!!!
Someday in the next months this will be an article in the newspaper in Holland.
We make sure you will be notified.





Our soon to be famous son Gaizka

Jemig, hij groeit als kool! Ik moet hem echt snel weer zien, straks herken ik hem niet meer (alhoewel...hij lijkt wel erg op zijn vader!!)
dikke kus,
