Parenting a new born no longer has to be a guessing game. With the breakthrough Dunstan Baby Language parents can learn how to understand the meaning of their baby's cries.

2. More unbroken sleep for baby and for parents
3. Parents feel more confident in their ability to care for their baby

The Dunstan Baby Language covers the 5 "words" that babies use to communicate
their everyday needs; hunger, tiredness, need to burp, lower wind and discomfort.
These "words" are based on physical reflexes. For instance when a baby is hungry
it stars to suck, and as sound is added to the reflex the 'word' for hunger is produced

Oh Baby ... Birth, Babies & Motherhood Uncensored is written by a mother for mothers and mothers-to-be. Openly frank and candidly blunt, this book oozes with warm fuzzies, it exudes realism in every paragraph and it is refreshing in its honesty.

Modern first-time mothers are often alone - devoid of once traditional motherhood knowledge and practical support. Previously self-confident women can find themselves fumbling over everyday mothering tasks and enduring torturous levels of sleep deprivation.

This book provides supportive, caring advice one Mum to another while at the same time serving as an encyclopaedic medical reference regarding the mother and baby. Checked thoroughly by medical professionals, this book is a unique blend, like having access to a kind and gentle GP as well as to all the gems of wisdom of years of mothers' coffee groups.

Oh Baby .. Birth, Babies & Motherhood Uncensored clearly and compassionately explains the ups as well as the downs which are perfectly normal aspects of giving birth and mothering in today's society.
