> You know how parents say they can tell by the cries of their baby what the baby needs? After the birth of our kid I found there is actually some truth to it. In fact there are five or more "words" that newborns have that can tell you what they need. A friend showed me a video from Oprah discussing it. Below is the first link I found describing them. Her newborn nearly always calmed down immediately when she responded to him based on what she heard. I was surprised I'd never heard of these before and that they don't appear to be well-known among new parents. http://www.whattoexpect.com/blogs/motherhoodinthemountains/newborn-cries-the-five-cries-you-need-to-know http://www.whattoexpect.com/blogs/motherhoodinthemountains/n...
