More Details:

25-30 Great job! You’re a super sleuth when it comes to decoding your infant’s cries and recognizing what to do about them! Now learn about another way to soothe Baby’s tears through infant massage.

17-24 Not bad! You’ve got a pretty good handle on what your baby is trying to tell you with her tears, but you could learn a bit more. Our tips will help you decode Baby’s wails using the Dunstan Baby Language Method.

10-16 There’s no cause for tears, but you could stand to learn more about your baby’s cries. Infants cry to communicate, so it’s a good idea research why your little one cries and what you can do to help soothe the tears.

Answers:

1. Infants use cries as their method of communicating with their caregivers.

2. Swaddling is one of the best ways to soothe a crying newborn, while a bath or a diaper change can be more jarring to Baby’s senses.

3. The “eh eh” sound means Baby needs to be burped, according to the Dunstan Baby Language Method.

4. Babies use the “owh” cry when they are sleepy.

5. It’s impossible to “spoil” a newborn with too much attention, so don’t feel guilty about picking up your crying baby!

6. A gassy baby makes a “eairh” or “air” sound, according to the Dunstan method.

7. Pediatricians say it’s typical for a newborn to cry from one to four hours a day.

8. The “heh heh heh” cry means Baby is uncomfortable.

9. False. Newborn babies do often fuss at night before settling down to sleep. Experts say this might be your baby’s way of trying to discharge the wound-up energy that's been gathering during the day.

10. When Baby is hungry her cries sound like “neh” or "nah", according to the Dunstan Baby Language program, a system that helps parents decode what their babies are trying to tell them.
