Understanding your baby’s cries
with Nasama
A baby’s cries can be a source of stress for new parents. It’s easy to feel powerless and unsure about how to respond to their needs. By learning the Dunstan baby language, you’ll gain the tools to decode the five distinct sounds that all newborns make to express their needs.

Nasama offers workshops to help you understand your baby’s cries. Crying is a natural part of a baby’s communication, alongside body language. This workshop helps you tune into your baby’s signals so you can respond appropriately rather than feeling overwhelmed.
This workshop is designed for expecting parents, parents of babies aged 0-5 months, professionals in perinatal care and early childhood education

You’ll learn to recognize the five distinct cries of newborns using the Dunstan baby language method, with video and audio examples.

Benefits of the Duntan Baby Language
Active
listening
Learning to decode your baby’s cries enhances your listening skills, helping you build a secure and trusting bond with your child.
Responding with accuracy
With Dunstan baby language, less guesswork means you can respond more accurately to your baby’s needs.
Empowering both parents
Understanding baby’s cries helps both parents feel more involved and confident.
Does it really work?
Yes! The Dunstan baby language is backed by over eight years of scientific research.
It highlights the fact that babies communicate through distinct sounds to express their feelings and needs.
All newborns worldwide express their physiological needs through body language and crying. Priscilla Dunstan, an opera singer in Sydney, discovered after the birth of her baby that cries for hunger, sleep, digestive discomfort, general discomfort, or a trapped burp are the same across all cultures. Fantastic, isn’t it?
Learning to decode cries through the Dunstan Baby Language allows you to build a calm and connected relationship with your baby from the very first moments.
As parents, we may:
-
Fear not understanding our baby
-
Worry about not being ready
-
Feel helpless when faced with frequent crying
