Next baby ‘words’
In search of more sounds: THIS PROJECT IS ON-PAUSE as at 5 March 2013 – We need more resources to manage this important project properly – further update coming, please stand by – the DBL team
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before too long, your baby will say more that Neh, Eh, Eairh, Owh & Heh.
We have identified a further 11 sounds (there could be more), applicable from 4 -12 months onwards.
These sounds can help us distinguish the more advanced sounds for ‘teething pain’, ‘lonely’ and ‘mother’ and others.
Sneak peak:
Gen means “I’m teething”
Nuh means “I’m thirsty”
Lowel means “I’m lonely”
+ 8 more
We simply have not yet validated them with the worldwide research, with enough babies which are needed to confirm their universality. (The first 5 sounds took us 8 years to confirm!)
Can you support our global research efforts?
We need more resources, research partners, funding and energetic project leaders.
Those wishing to leave a lasting legacy can get involved.
A million mothers listening.
In the meantime, every Baby Listener can join in by listening out for these extra sounds.
And testing whether these sounds, below, co-incide with the meanings as per your experience.
Then, you and your baby can be recognised as contributing to the Global Baby Listening Project.
Here’s what to do:
1. Listen.
