Communicating

I have not yet learnt the 'different' cries that people assure me exist nor what they mean.  I thought I understood Cooper fairly well this morning though.  He had choked on milk again so I sat him up to burp him. He started leaning back really hard, grunting with the effort.  Fairly clear communication meaning "Not time for burps; more milk please, Mum" right?  I lay him back down, pulled him in close for a feed, and what did he do?  A little burp and chuck on my tummy, lol.   I guess he was just sick of using spew rags.

    lol I still do that with Lizzie, its hard to understand. I find klistening for these sounds helps though:

    owh - sleepy
    neh - hungry
    Heh - nappy
    Eh - burp me
    Eairh - wind

    I've never noticed the heh, and susie never really did the owh but the eh and Eairh, and Neh ones I've found really easy to hear! is from the Dunstan baby language system. library may have a copy you can watch http://www.dunstanbaby.com/cms/index.php?page=au-home

    Cool, I'll have to listen out for them! Very interesting! Trying to listen to the one just now and it sounded like wah or oo-eh. His nappy was only slightly wet, he was due for a feed and he didn't burp at the end of the last feed and can still feel the gurgles in his tummy. So I'm guessing I was actually hearing the 'burp me' cry?

    Sometimes throwing themselves back is just part of the whinge too. Tate throws himself about when he's upset.
