Every baby speaks a language before they learn words. The amazing part is that it is the same language worldwide. Before they can talk, babies use five sounds to express what they need. This discovery, made by Priscilla Dunstan, shows that newborns share a universal way of communication through sound reflexes. Here are the five baby sounds and what they mean:
1. Neh means “I am hungry.”
This sound comes from the natural sucking reflex when babies want to feed.
2. Owh means “I am sleepy.”
It is formed when the mouth opens in a yawn, signaling tiredness and the need for rest.
3. Heh means “I am uncomfortable.”
Babies use this when something feels wrong, such as a wet diaper, tight clothes, or a temperature change.
4. Eairh means “I have gas.”
It is a deeper sound that comes from discomfort in the tummy. You might see the baby squirm or pull their knees up.
5. Eh means “I need to burp.”
A short, gentle sound that comes before small bursts of air leave the chest.
When parents learn to recognize these sounds, they begin to understand what their baby is really saying. What once felt like crying now feels like conversation.
Listening becomes the first form of love.
